316Ti Timing Kit

[dickybirdclocks]

My mechanic needs timing kit for a BMW 316Ti compact he has in garage a 51 Plate , Seems its either Laser or Sealey that supply the kits are there any others and is it available to hire anywhere ? Laser is kit number 4419 and Sealey is kit number VSE5911 . We have found lots some as high as £350 lowest seems to be approx £200 . Is there anybody on here that has one lying about in garage willing to turn it into cash . We are Manchester area .

316Ti would be chain driven. The chain jumped?

Keep asking around the forums, someone will have the tool as it's needed to align it properly if it has jumped..

There must be a way of aligning her without the tool though! I REFUSE to be bmw "special tools"..

As far as i know this tool is vital to do many jobs on this chain driven engine ,dont think its like my transit where a couple of old bolts can be pushed into holes to time up . Many garages refuse to work on this engine because its so techy.
