Sealey VSE5951.V2 Timing Tool Kit for VAG, Dodge, Ford, Mitsubishi

Product Overview

The Sealey VSE5951.V2 is a comprehensive timing tool kit designed for engine timing and belt replacement on a wide range of VAG Pumpe Duse and Common Rail diesel engines, spanning from 1.2D to 2.0D. This kit is also compatible with specific engines found in Ford, Dodge, and Mitsubishi vehicles. It includes essential components such as crankshaft locking tools for both oval and round crank gears, camshaft locking pins, and various tensioner adjustment tools, all supplied in a convenient storage case.

Safety Information

Always wear approved eye protection and appropriate personal protective equipment when using these tools. Ensure the vehicle is properly supported on axle stands if raised by a jack. Never use damaged tools. Always refer to the vehicle manufacturer's service instructions to establish the correct procedures and data. Incorrect or out-of-phase camshaft timing can lead to contact between the valve head and the piston crown, causing severe engine damage.

Operation and Usage

The kit provides specific tools for different engine variants. It is critical to identify the correct crankshaft gear type (round or oval) and use the corresponding locking tool. The crankshaft must be positioned at Top Dead Center (TDC) before fitting the locking tools. For common rail engines, the kit includes pins to lock both the camshaft and the high-pressure pump sprocket. When replacing the timing belt, always ensure the tensioner pointer is correctly aligned with the notch on the back plate. After installation, rotate the engine twice by hand to verify timing and tool fitment.

Maintenance and Adjustments

Regular maintenance of the tools ensures safe use and optimum performance. If the timing requires adjustment, follow the specific procedures for your engine type (8v single camshaft or 16v twin camshaft). Always use a suitable holding tool when tightening camshaft sprocket bolts and ensure new bolts are used as specified. If the tensioner pointer is not aligned, perform the necessary adjustments as outlined in the manual to prevent engine performance issues.

Environmental Protection

Dispose of unwanted materials and tools in a manner compatible with the environment. Sort all tools, accessories, and packaging and take them to a recycling center. If the product becomes unserviceable, drain any fluids into approved containers and dispose of them according to local regulations.
