Default Looking for 12v timing tools

Anyone willing to ship the timing tools for a 12v? I can pay Priority Mail both ways. Had a thermostat go, so kinda need it asap.

Thanks!

B5 section? Perhaps CCA4 has the tool?

Which timing tools are you looking for? If you mean the cam locking tool, you don't need it unless you're doing cam seals (which I wouldn't touch unless they're visibly leaking). Otherwise, all you need is typical tools (sockets, ratchets, wrenches, torx bits, etc). I've done quite a few timing services, 30v and 12v both, and have yet to need a cam locking tool. Long as you index cylinder three (rear passenger side cylinder) at TDC on the compression stroke, the cams will be flat-spotted and won't turn unless you force them to turn.

Well, I was gonna do the whole belt/waterpump/pully shebang while I was in there. Even though they all look newer, the thermostat going casts doubt. I figure I could do it w/o the locking bar and pin as I always have on other cars, but after reading other's posts about it moving anyways, and with putting a new belt on that would have less slack just 'cause its new, and 'cause its friggin so cold outside I dont wanna have to do it twice, I figured I'd try to get the tools

Thanks
