R M Tools Solutions

• Brand & Model: Gallop Z100224 — likely part of their timing tool series.

• Intended Use: Based on Gallop's naming, it’s almost certainly designed for a specific engine family—probably a modern petrol or diesel engine (e.g. VW TSI, Ford EcoBoost, BMW N-series, etc.).

While the exact inventory isn’t itemized, typical crank locking kits on similar diesels include:

• Precision crankshaft locking pin/adapter

• Support bracket or locating dowels

• Durable storage case

• Built to OEM tolerances for TDC timing applications

• Compatibility: Designed for Jaguar and Land Rover 2.0L GTDi (Gasoline Turbocharged Direct Injection) engines.

• Applications: Suitable for various Jaguar and Land Rover models equipped with the 2.0L GTDi engine.

• Contents: Typically includes camshaft locking tools, crankshaft locking tools, and other necessary components to ensure precise engine timing during maintenance or repair.

• Equivalent OEM Tool Codes: While specific OEM tool codes are not provided, the Z100142 kit is designed to meet or exceed the specifications of original equipment manufacturer tools for Jaguar and Land Rover 2.0L GTDi engines.

The kit likely includes:

• Camshaft locking plates

• Crankshaft locking pin

• Tensioner aligner or chain timing pins

• Possibly flywheel or chain tensioner locking tools

• All housed in a molded carry case

• Engine Family: Specifically designed for Mercedes‑Benz M271 series petrol engines—these include the 1.6L and 2.0L direct-injection, chain-driven petrol engines.

• Commonly found in models like the A-Class, B-Class, CLA, C-Class, and E-Class produced during the mid‑2000s to 2010s.

• OEM-equivalent: Matches Volkswagen/Audi service tools for working on VAG DSG units

• Safe and precise: Prevents clutch pack damage during removal/install

• Versatile: Supports both generation 6 and 7 DSG units, including larger Touareg gearboxes

• Reliable: Used alongside gauge blocks and pullers like Laser Tools 7914/6718 sets for full clutch lifecycle support

• Versatility: Adapters fit different piston types across European, Japanese, and American vehicles

• Manual Control: No power source needed—just hand-torque with a ratchet or wrench

• Complete Kit: One-stop solution, unlike single-disc adaptors or clamps

• Model: Z100101
  Compatibility: 1.8 L & 2.0 L TSI/TFSI EA888 engines (petrol) used in VAG models like Audi, VW, Skoda, and Seat (covering engine codes: BYT, BZB, CABA, BZC, CABD, CAEA, CAEB, CAWA/B, CBFA, CCTA, CCZ, etc.)

• Compatibility is key: The Z100155 is compatible with VW·1.2/1.4/1.6 FSI and 1.4 TSI engines. If your engine falls in that range, the Z100152 kit likely covers it. Always double-check engine codes—TSI vs FSI threading size and locking pin diameters differ.

• Check workmanship: Users on forums recommend investing in quality timing tools (e.g. from Diesel Geek, IDParts, MetalNerd) to avoid misalignment or damage.

• Engine Coverage: Designed for VAG petrol engines—covers 1.2 TFSI, 1.2/1.4/1.6 FSI, and 1.4 TSI models.

• Suitable for entry-level garage or DIY use on small petrol engines

• Likely useful for VW‑Seat‑Skoda 1.0–1.6 L petrol engines (though not officially confirmed)

• Ideal for valve adjustment or timing chain/belt replacement work

• This kit provides the required timing tools to lock the camshaft and crankshaft in their timed position on the post 2010 V8 5.0L petrol engines used in the Jaguar and Land Rover ranges.
• Kit which includes the camshaft, crankshaft, flywheel locking tools and the special camshaft turning tools with the tensioning wrench required to work on the engines listed.

• Camshaft locking tool(s)

• Crankshaft locking/TDC pin

• Chain/belt tensioner adjuster or aligner

• Possibly a flywheel/flexplate locking tool

• A durable carry case

• Camshaft locking tools tailored for positioning and securing camshafts during timing operations

• Compatible with multiple valve setups (6- and 12-valve engines) across Ford and VAG platforms

• OEM-equivalent to tools T10123, T10121, T10120 (VAG direct OEM); also fully aligned with Ford specifications

• Ensures accurate timing alignment during belt or chain replacement

• Maintains OEM-level precision for cam/crank locking

• Ideal for professional workshops and informed DIY mechanics servicing VAG EA211 petrol engines

• Comes in a compact, durable case for easy storage and organization

• OEM-level precision: Matches BMW service specifications for camshaft timing unit service

• Prevents damage: Avoids misalignment during removal/installation

• Workshop necessity: Essential for timing unit service, especially when replacing timing chain, seal, or VANOS components

• OEM-level precision: Matches BMW service specifications for camshaft timing unit service

• Prevents damage: Avoids misalignment during removal/installation

• Workshop necessity: Essential for timing unit service, especially when replacing timing chain, seal, or VANOS components

•  

• Precise camshaft timing: Designed to hold and secure camshafts or vanos units during servicing.

• Tensioner timing adjustment: Includes tools to align and lock timing chain tensioners.

• Crankshaft/top dead center alignment: Supports setting crank to TDC and maintaining timing while working.

• Built to OEM specs: Matches service tool accuracy and fit similar to BMW factory tools.

•  Key Uses & Components

  • Precise camshaft timing: Designed to hold and secure camshafts or vanos units during servicing.

  • Tensioner timing adjustment: Includes tools to align and lock timing chain tensioners.

  • Crankshaft/top dead center alignment: Supports setting crank to TDC and maintaining timing while working.

  • Built to OEM specs: Matches service tool accuracy and fit similar to BMW factory tools.

• Designed for Mercedes-Benz 1.6 L and 2.0 L direct-injection turbo petrol engines

• Found in late-model A-Class, B-Class, CLA, C-Class, and E-Class vehicles using chain-driven cam timing systems

• Brake bleeding: Connect pump to bleed nipple, create vacuum, open nipple to suck fluid—one-person operation. Practical, but manual pedal pump often works faster

• Diagnostics: Useful for testing vacuum-controlled valves (EGR, brake boosters, fuel regulators), and checking for leaks

• Learned advice: Some mechanics prefer traditional brake-bleeder or pressure bleeder for speed and simplicity

• Holds pulleys securely: Ideal for camshaft, crankshaft, injection pump pulleys

• Removes/install fan clutch: Keeps the pulley from turning while loosening or tightening the fan clutch nut

• Widely adjustable: Designed to work across various diameters (roughly 40–220 mm jaw spread)
