whats up guys im looking for that infamous cam lock tool to finish this timing belt job. i kinda wanted to stay away from actually purchasing the tool because this regular maintenance is starting to get expensive. maybe i can rent it from some one that has it in my area. thanks

 

If you set the job up correctly by indexing cylinder #3 at TDC on the compression stroke, the cams will be sitting on the flat parts of the lobes and you won't need to lock them. When our crew has had t-belts off, we wouldve had to hit the sprockets with a hammer to turn them. If you didn't set it up that way, lock them in. Get a drilled piece of flat stock at Lowes and make your own locking tool.

 

a drilled piece of flat stock, im not sure i follow..my uncle gots everything on but the timing belt. he took off the passenger side sprocket so now its spins free.

thats what it looks like. you dont necessarily need the 90* bends, it can just be a strait bar. just drill the holes on center and you are good. if you search you can find more pictures.
