Subject: Re: What is this part?
As I remember the cam sprockets are individually adjustable, this is partly to take into account the chain stretching over time resulting in the relative distance between each camshaft increasing. I think this tool must lock two cams into the correct position, then the sprockets can be loosened and the chain set to the correct tension using the top tensioner.
It also allows the cams to be adjusted relative to the crank for the timing.
ASD sell much nicer versions than my hand made one.
