Cam Locking Tools?


28M3

Recommended Posts

Hi all. Currently working on a 2.5L engine. The engine was making a clicking noise but ran. Pretty sure we've nipped an IMS failure in the bud. Gonna replace the IMS. Found metal flecks in the oil filter. Going to open the engine, clean it up and replace anything that's damaged.

Need the proper tools for locking the cams in place. I think its tool 253 but I'm not sure where to find it. Any ideas what tools are needed?
