Exercise I really demand the cam chain tensioner tool?
I'g getting ready to pull the cams and tensioner and so I can replace the necessary seals. Reading some of the DIY'southward and watching a few videos I see people using the special tool to compress the tensioner. My question is do I really demand that tool if I'm goona pull the tensioner, cams, and chain together as i unit? I've spent enough money on one time use tools already for my build and would hate to purchase and await for another. Thanks guys.

Why pull the entire cam only to replace the seals? That would require you to take the timing belt off as well, which you would need the cam bar. There is a reason they make the tool, and it'due south fairly inexpensive. I've done the tensioner seals a few times and I wouldn't do it without the tool.

Well the motor is out of the car and I'm changing everything possible. Timing belt and sprockets are off already so I would similar to get the seals done today and not wait for the tool to exist delivered. My main reason for wanting to pull everything out as one is to keep the cam sprockets lined upward, I don't want to mess anything up with the timing.

It can be washed without the tool, but information technology is a serious pain. I wouldn't practice it without it.
I loan this tool out to AZ members, merely cover the shipping. I usually send it kickoff class postal service, so it takes a few days but it'southward just ii bucks each way.

Good man!
I did the seals on my V8 without the tool. Information technology wasn't that bad. Simply the only reason I did it that style, is because I didn't know whatsoever ameliorate. I remember using a minor prepare of picks and working tediously to become to the seal, and put the new ones in. It is achievable without it.. Simply I am sure the tool makes for a much easier (plus peace of mind) job.

Become the tool. There's a reason they make information technology. Information technology makes me cringe every time I see people not take the cams out to do the half moon seals. Anyone who has washed them before knows that dirt hides in that groove they sit in and if you don't clean it out it's gonna leak once again before long.

I was under the impression that the tool was merely made for compressing the cct in order to remove information technology without pulling the cams, I don't see what the need for it is if the cams, chain and cct are coming out at the same time.

I don't meet how you could always get the cam chain tensioner out without pulling the cams. Information technology fits tightly in there fifty-fifty with pulling the cams out with it. Only get the damn tool and stop trying to work around it.

I did it without and had nothing issues. Removed the bolts that hold it downwards and put steady force per unit area on the cct until it went down. If your engine has been sitting there should exist minimal resistance while pushing it down. I've read many bad stories about using the tool and it breaking so I skipped using it all together. Since your engine is out, cleaning the mating surfaces should exist no problem.

Get the tool.
I practise not recall ever pulling a cam for a half moon gasket replacement. It can be installed with cams installed. The tool is used to supervene upon the tensioner gasket almost specifically.

Im certain there are means to hammerphuk them together without the tool, but you dont want to do that.
At that place are only 2 things needed to brand an Audi work properly - Duct tape and WD40. If it moves and it shouldn't - Duct tape. If it doesn�t move and information technology should - WD40.

I pulled the cams and tensioner all at one time, the tool is only required if y'all only need to pull the tensioner by itself or modify seals. If yous don't want to pull the cams, use the tool.
