E-cowlboy AM-EN-48953 Cam Phaser Retainer Tool for Ecotec 2.0L 2.4L Engines

Tool was well made but did not fit the camshafts on 2.0 l turbo engine

This tool fit just like oem. Note: when installing timing chains and phasers on the 2.4 ecotec engine, this tool is used in order to aid installation and prevent too much torque to be put on the chain while torquing to yield at 22lb ft + 100 degrees. In other words you should still use a 24 mm wrench on the camshaft hex to hold it in place while tightening. I worked on these at the dealership level for decades and even the oem tool will get damaged if you just rely on the pegs to hold the sprocket while you tighten. Use common sense and you will be alright.

I took it out of the box and the bolts were too large for the holes in the head. I used different bolts to hold it in place. I started torquing the bolts and one of the tabs broke off that was holding the cam phaser in place. Complete Junk!

Worked great

good value had to buy several now engineering is week on design i keep bending the tabs that engauge the phazers but i do that on the far more expensive name brand ounes as well its a design flaw in the tool it should be re engineered

low cost peace of mind

Works as described

Supplied hardware did not fit valve head, had to scavenge bolts from intake manifold bag of bolts to make do. Tabs are WAY to weak to hold the phasers in place. And tabs aren't long enough to fully engage phasers to prevent chain slippage. Imo. Save your money. Or VENMO me. Your choice.
