Timing Chain Tools

[FormulaElement]

Hey guys, I'm trying to perform the timing chain service on my engine next week. Just got a call from JHM today that they don't have any tools for sale or rent and won't have any for 3 weeks.

Anyways at this point i need to find someone else, either a vendor or a member that will rent or sell me the tools. Kind of desperate here, any help would be appreciated!

Theres a couple companies on ebay that make the same tools. I'm pretty sure they just bought a set then had knockoffs made but they should work all the same. They do that show the plastic wedges in their ad but one of the sellers I talked to said they could sell you that and a crank pin separately if you need them.

Thanks again to Tarl! Highly recommend him over others if you need to rent the tools.

If anyone does their timing job, call JHM before you place your order to verify they have the tools. Or hopefully you can wait however long for the tools. Since my order was already placed, they said they couldn't refund me the cost of renting the tools and could only give me store credit.

This can't be true because they refund you the $200 core after they get them back in working order.

This is obviously BS because they refund you the $200 core after they get them back in working order.

What a crock. Not like you're returning physical inventory.

Let me get this straight, because I must be misunderstanding something.

So, you paid for renting the timing service tools via an internet order from JHM under the pretense that they had them in stock. Then, when you inquire further after having paid for the tool rental, you are told that they not only cannot send the tools due to none being in inventory, but also will only refund your rental deposit in the form of store credit? Please tell me that I am misunderstanding this, because if I am not then that is some 100% bullshit business practice right there; and you should really press the issue.

If they simply don't have the tools in stock right now then that's totally understandable, but to not issue you a proper refund for a tool rental that never happened is simply unacceptable!

Well, you'd have to take that up with the SEC so they can spend good taxpayer cash to find that it is locked away and untouchable in a Swiss bank acct for my corporate motel headquartered in the Canaries.

Really, although some guys have the confidence and experience to make their own timing tools, it seems like something could be done via the Audizine community as a whole on this. The job is risky, difficult, stressful enough as it is. In this case Tarl stepped up, But it sounds like these tools are ever more in demand. Empty your pockets and still dont get the tool? Come on.

These tools are all over online. There are plenty of places that sell them and already a couple companies that make their own knock-offs
