R56 N12 2008 Need Cam Tool
What cam tool should I buy? Are the cheep ones from Amazon okay? The engine is locked with the pin anyway, so I don't think there will ever be too much force pushing the cams around.
This is the fist time I will be doing a timing chain and I do not want to mess up - also do not want to waste money on a tool I will use once.
TIA

You really need to lock the cams in place to get them sync'd correctly with the crank.

Here is a recent review of the Amazon tool set:

I would rather spend the money on the Schwaben kit from ECS, than have to deal with ill-fitting cheap tool just to save a couple dollars.
