The Schwaben MINI Timing Chain Tool Kit (026420SCH01A) is a specialty tool set for locking the camshafts and crankshaft in position while servicing the timing chain, tensioner, or guides on first-generation MINI engines. Using the correct locking tools is essential on this engine family to keep valve timing correct and avoid piston-to-valve contact during reassembly.

Fitment: MINI Cooper and Cooper S, chassis R50, R52 and R53, fitted with the W10 (naturally aspirated) or W11 (supercharged) 1.6L engine — not the later N12-N18-powered R55-R60 Gen2/Gen3 models on the original listing.
