The BMW N51/N52/N53/N54 Engine Timing Tool Kit is a professional-grade, precision-engineered set of alignment and locking tools designed for secure maintenance on BMW's inline-6 engines. Manufactured by Ningbo Fuerd Machinery Co., Ltd.—a trusted leader in automotive tools since 1987—this kit facilitates accurate camshaft, crankshaft, and VANOS component locking during timing chain replacement, VANOS solenoid service, camshaft adjustments, and engine rebuilds.
With high-tolerance machining (±0.01mm precision) and constructed from premium chrome-vanadium steel and aluminum alloys, it meets OE-level standards and complies with certifications including CE, TUV, ISO9001:2008, IATF16949, CSA, FCC, UL, and RoHS.
Ideal for professional mechanics, 4S dealers, workshops, and advanced DIY enthusiasts, this kit prevents misalignment-related damage, streamlines repairs, and delivers exceptional durability and value through FUERD's vertical integration and factory-direct OEM/ODM solutions.
Engine Compatibility
This kit is specifically tailored for BMW's N-series 2.5L and 3.0L inline-6 engines with chain-driven timing and VANOS systems. Always verify your engine code via VIN or service manual for exact fitment:
• N51/N52 (Naturally Aspirated, Valvetronic): 2.5L/3.0L variants, including SULEV (N51) and standard NA (N52). Common in models like 3 Series (E90/E91/E92/E93: 325i, 328i, 330i), 5 Series (E60/E61: 525i, 530i), X3 (E83), X5 (E70), Z4 (E85/E86). Model years: 2006–2015.
• N53/N54 (Direct Injection, Turbo Variants): 3.0L NA (N53) or twin-turbo (N54). Common in models like 1 Series (E87: 135i), 3 Series (E90/E91/E92/E93: 335i), 5 Series (E60/E61: 535i). Model years: 2007–2016.
Note: Not compatible with later N55 engines (requires red locking fixtures—available in FUERD's separate kits). Confirm compatibility by engine code to avoid variant-specific issues.

Kit Contents
This comprehensive 20+ piece kit comes in a durable, foam-lined blue ABS carrying case for organized storage and portability. Color-coded components (e.g., silver/white for N51/N52; blue for N53/N54) ensure easy identification:
• Camshaft Locking Bars & Fixtures: Hold cams at exact TDC positions.
• Crankshaft Alignment Pins & Holding Tools: Secure crank at top-dead-center.
• VANOS Alignment Locks & Solenoid Holders: For variable valve timing components.
• Tensioner Locking Pins & Press-Down Tools: Manage chain tension.
• Flywheel Holders & Extension Bars: Prevent rotation during bolt work.
• Guide Pins, Bolts, Adapters, and Auxiliary Hardware: For secure assembly across variants.
• Multi-color Coded Plates and Precision Gauges: Including L-shaped/U-shaped brackets, knurled handles, and alignment rods.
All tools feature ergonomic designs, corrosion-resistant finishes, and hardened construction for long-term reliability.
Key Benefits
• Damage Prevention: Locks components to precise tolerances, avoiding valve-to-piston interference, chain slip, or VANOS failure—potentially saving $5,000+ in rebuild costs.

• Versatility: Suitable for timing chain/belt replacement, valve train service, camshaft/crankshaft positioning, VANOS maintenance, and diagnostics.
Usage Guidelines
Follow BMW TIS service manuals for torque specs and safety:
1.Rotate engine to TDC on cylinder #1; remove valve cover and access panels.
2.Install crankshaft lock pin into flywheel housing.
3.Align and lock camshafts with bars; secure VANOS with solenoid locks.
4.Apply tensioner pin to hold chain.
5.Perform service (e.g., replace chain/guides); torque to spec.
6.Manually rotate engine two revolutions, verify alignment, and remove tools.
Safety Tips: Never force tools or rotate without full locking. Perform dry-run checks post-assembly. Use PPE and calibrated equipment.
