It's finally available!! We’ve resurrected the marvelous BMW Engine Turning Tool #7008-1. We used 4140 steel and had it hardened to RC 48/52 tool grade steel. We then had it black oxide treated to produce a long lasting, corrosion-resistant finish. This is one of those tools that will be passed down for generations.

Need to adjust your valves? Set the dwell angle on your points? Find TDC to stab a distributor?
You could use the old methods of turning the engine:
  • Put the car in fourth and push it (unless it’s on a slope)
  • Bump the motor with the starter (never stops where you want it to!)
  • Push on the fan blade (bad for the fan and your knuckles!)
  • Try to get a socket on the crankshaft nut (requires two people)
Or, you could simply turn the engine with THE AMAZING BMW ENGINE TURNING TOOL!
The Engine Turning Tool works with any dual-row timing chain used on BMWs from the 60s to the 90s.

never thought about turning the engine that wayo_O
Once you use this to do any tune-up, you'll never try another way again. It usually takes me 30-45 minutes turning the crank with a socket because it is so awkward. I can set the valve clearances and check them twice in less than 20 minutes with this tool!!!

A friend of mine - retired BMW mechanic - has one of these. The first time I used it I was amazed at how it simplified the process.

It is truly amazing compared to struggling with any other method. You can set the point's cam follower exactly on the peak of the cam lobe the first try!! Even if you only need to do timing adjustments once a year, this tool will pay for itself in hours saved the first time you use it.
