Senseless1 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Anybody looking to buy the cheap kmotor cam lock tool that is a knockoff of company23's design prepare to finish machining it yourself. I normally prefer my Company23 tools, of which I have 4 variations, but due to my engine swap project I am out of money and time like yesterday. Time and time again I try to save money buying cheap parts or tools. Usually you have a functional tool or part with a vastly reduced lifespan. Seeing the camlock tool not having moving parts I wondered how a Chinese factory could screw it up? Well, lol, looks like they're just not finish machining them to the correct precision size. I had to grind down each face with a bench grinder and then hand file touch up the tool to make it useable. For the ej255 the camshaft pulley fasteners are a 10mm hex. My cheap 10mm hex measured 9.95mm +/- .05mm The China Special from Kmotor came in from 10.1-10.2mm Just stick with the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senseless1 Posted May 4, 2020 Author Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) If you're looking for an actual tool deal check out the Irwin Industrial stuff. Specifically https://www.ebay.com/itm/153869196558 is a great automotive tap and die set. Bluepoint rebrands and sells it for so much the used bluepoint kits are going for new Irwin pricing.
