How do I use an Engine Timing Tool Set, what goes where!
Please help, banging my head with this before I start pulling the engine apart.

Re: Engine Timing Tool Set
What engine??
Basically the steel pins will be what you use to lock the cam(s) and crank so that timing cannot be lost when the belt is off. Some kits come with a 'large bicycle clip' type thing which is just used to hold the belt on the crank pulley while you're up top threading the belt around. You might also have a cam positioning tool to make tiny adjustments to the cams if they're out a little. Depending on the tensioning method used in the engine you're doing, there might also be some tooling for that too.

Re: Engine Timing Tool Set
The pins fit like this.....
Z shaped one will probably be the 6mm diameter locking pin for the flywheel which fits in a hole just above the starter motor, sometimes it's easier to remove the starter to get at the hole, but you can use a longer 6mm bar to access the hole.
There is a pin that fits through the camshaft pulley into the cylinder head.
Apart from those there aren't any other locking pins required.
Personally, I always advise anyone to mark the position of all the pulleys with tippex or paint, this is a belt and braces thing that I always use.....I've done nearly 60 of these timing belt jobs over the years.

Re: Engine Timing Tool Set
many thanks, I done a few heads petrol, inc fiat punto 60 still mark them with tipex even tho, not required, lol
so my kit has alot more items than that so, that sound good, knowing only two required, not that bad now!

Re: Engine Timing Tool Set
Isn't there a pin used on the bottom pulley?
I guess it'd be pretty redundant with the flywheel pinned, just most XU's ive done have had a timing pin/hole of some description on the bottom pulley.
Watching this as ill be doing mine soon, first time on an XU10J2TE, looks similar to the procedure on the 8v XU9 though tbh..

I forgot to mention...there is a guide to replacing the 110 timing belt kit here.....viewtopic.php?f=10&t=8229
Re: Engine Timing Tool Set
Thanks, but it not a timing belt problem. this weekend I will be doing a compression test as I beleive number four cyclinder is the problem, but when confirmed, I will need to take off the head, so locking all timing pullies is the better option, as I do not want to spend alot of time retiming, I have the locking kit but as I have never done a diesel or and engine like this before, biggest engine 2.9i V12, i need some advise where and what tool goes where, the haynes manual does state this, well what do you expect it is a haynes! lol.
