Installation & Usage

This tool is used during camshaft service procedures to lock the camshaft(s) in the correct position while the timing belt or components are removed or replaced. No permanent installation is required — the camlock tool is a service aid used temporarily during the repair process and removed upon completion. Recommended for use by experienced DIY mechanics or professional technicians familiar with Subaru EJ engine timing procedures. Always refer to the Subaru factory service manual (FSM) for torque specifications and step-by-step cam timing procedures.

Is this tool compatible with non-turbo Subaru EJ engines? This tool is specifically engineered for the EJ turbo engine family. Compatibility with naturally aspirated EJ variants depends on whether those engines share the same 17mm cam bolt specification — consult your factory service manual or contact Torque Solution for confirmation.
