    WTRent N52 VANOS Timing Tools - SoCal

    My damn lifters won't silence themselves, no matter what I do. So I've resigned myself to pulling the valve cover and replacing the exhaust HVAs (lifters). Which means I'll have to pull the exhaust camshaft, and will need the VANOS timing blocks to put it back together properly.

    Engine: N51 (same as N52), 2007 vintage.

    The tool(s) is ridiculously expensive for a one-off repair. Does anyone here, who lives in SoCal (Los Angeles area), have the tools and can I borrow/buy/rent them from you? Shipping them in from out of town isn't out of the question, but this adds another level of PITA to the job. Any ideas or leads would be appreciated.

    Nevermind, guys. I couldn't find the tools locally for rent, so I had to buy them.
