It's a catalogue that lets pictures, part numbers and product numbers do the talking, so text is kept to a minimum and there are three types of data sheet covering: 1) engine-specific timing tools 2) associated tools and 3) universal tools. Each sheet features a brief description of each tool and/or set, as well as images and all relevant weights and dimensions.
