OTC 6024 Crankshaft Positioning Tool for Ford, Black

needed this specialty tool for my engine repairs which made it so much easier for a precise repair

Spent the high dollar price for this since it’s important to get the timing set perfectly during the timing job. The reviews on the knock off brands weren’t very good, a lot of them said it wouldn’t fit the crankshaft. The OTC tool worked perfectly and it was a new tool.

Finally!!! Ordered one from e bay tryna save a couple bucks since I will only need it once hopefully and it didnt fit. Then turned around and ordered another cheap one from amazon and it didnt fit either so I returned it. Like most others say (because they are selling the same cheap knockoff trash on amazon & e bay) they crankshaft key way wont fit as well as the alignment dowel wont fit in the knockoff. The cheapo is just flat out cut wrong with too small of a slot for the crankshaft keyway as well as the alignment dowel hole on the tool is cut too small.Finally decided to pay the cost for the OTC one and I should’ve just done it from jump. Fits perfectly and im glad in my desperation to try and get the job done that I didnt try to eyeball it with the crankshaft sprocket dot pointing straight down cuz when I stuck the tool on I was definitely off. Also tried the e bay that I had filed down in the attempt to male it fit. While I was closer than I was with the dot I was still off with that as well despite my best efforts to file both sides of the crank key slot evenly. At the end of the day, dont even mess around with the knockoff...get the OTC tool and get it done right.I highly doubt any one of the other reviews for the knockoff tools are legit unless somehow they got one from a lucky run of tools but I would avoid them like the plague. For all of those who are and will be like me (just getting around to doing their timing job on theor 5.4L 3v, dont mess around tryna cheap out with the non otc tool and then leave urself in a pickle where u are just pressing to get done so u file the tool tryna make it fit or u just eyeball it using the sprocket. Just get the real one. Its the most important and entire point of the job so why not make sure it is done 100% right.

seller was really fast to get it out was exactly what my husband needed to get his truck on the road so i could have mine back win win for all

Well the tool has some printed numbers on it and the font is different than the one shown in OTC webpage.The box, label and printed insert actually look genuine bue the tool looks like a knockoff.Bought it in advance to do a timing job on a Ford 5.4l 3V and I have seen there are a lot of knockoffs which do not properly fit on the engine. I will take pictures of it once I get the job done.Bought it from Amazon Warehouse, and thinking how it could have happened anyone could have bought it and replaced it for a knockoff and returned it. Guess I'll never know!

The tool does fit the crank but does not fit over the block dowel pin as indicated. The slot in the tool needs to be longer. It will work to give an accurate measurement if you look at it straight ahead.

Worked on my 09 f150. 3v 5.4l xlt 4x4. Does the job it's supposed to but for what it is? It's very expensive.

This tool costs more than it should, but it does buy peace of mind when setting timing in your truck. No guessing about whether that crankshaft keyway is at 1000, 1030, or 1100. Slip the tool in place, set the crankshaft position, and set your cam timing knowing you're good to go.

Required to do timing chain and cam phasers on Ford 5.4 triton

Another great product by OTC, simple and easy to use. Many years of use. Came to door quicker than expected

Awesome tool, it's a great time saver and the only simple, accurate way to find TDC. Pretty important on a zero clearance engine. Well worth the money

A tool you need if changing timing components to set crank to top centre .
