So, I have a head gasket and probably a ring to replace, and i have quite a lot of money in parts, and things spent already but I just can not justify the cam locking tool at the horrible prices that Mini Mania is charging, so i want to see if theres someone out there that would be willing to help me with a test, I would like to try to 3D print one, and i just need someone to measure theirs and send me the details, I will gladly share any tools that come out of this and if successful will work to get them to people that would need them.... let me know!


THis is the tool that i am trying to make.

I think I talked to the folks at ECS Tuning, and their price was rather more reasonable than that. (I could be mis-remembering the price, though!)
