Found this http://www.amazon.com/Engine-Camshaf...62+timing+tool

What do you guys think? I have to do the chains and guides on my engine and would like to have the tool. I just dont want to use some cheapo tool and possibly ruin my engine....

also what do you guys use?

That should be fine. I just checked my Amazon order history, this is the one I purchased, which is the cheapest I could find at the time:

m6x's are easy, the cam squares just need to be perpendicular to the valve cover surface, same as m5x's. Actually, I believe the m5x and m6x use the same timing blocks.

awesome thanks for the feed back. i was getting worried because everyone said the tool was super expensive and was skeptical then i found this one for cheap.
