If not, does anyone have a set of tools for rent or know where I can rent a set or buy the crank tool?

I got crank tool (m62) 59 on eBay, worked fine. If you were closer I'd lend it

This one has crank lock pin
You can buy the crank tool from a variety of vendors... I would never try to break the crank bolt loose with just the crank lock pin. Here’s a link to the tool:

It’s well worth the few bucks it costs. For the timing tools themselves I use the GAS tools, they’re very easy to use and super accurate.
I say this as somebody that runs a shop that specializes in these jobs... I’m doing chain guide job #17 right now, and #18 is coming up shortly.

Hey Danny! Thanks for the input. This is the engine going into the Range Rover I bought last year. Yeah, long story. It wasn’t the fuel pump. Haha. Anyway, I was hoping to rent all this stuff or borrow it from a local enthusiast, but I will probably just have to buy all the tools. It’s still a ton cheaper than paying a shop. I just worry about the final connections and start up. I may have to pay a shop to do that.

These tools got quite cheap, no point renting them anymore. Buy it, use it and then sell it on Ebay. I have used this one for timing: https://www.amazon.com/8milelake-Cam...8-3&ref=sr_1_3
This is probably the cheapest crank holder tool: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...ol-baum-112450
Dont use the pin for holding, not worth the risk.
