{"product_id":"bmw-timing-tool","title":"Original BMW Counterbalance Shaft TDC Timing Tool for BMW 2, 3, 4, 5 Series, X1, X3, X4, and Z4 (2012–2018)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Original BMW counterbalance shaft TDC tool holds the balance shaft at top dead center on the N20 and N26 four-cylinder engines in BMW 2, 3, 4, and 5 Series, X1, X3, X4, and Z4 models from 2012–2018. Its job is to let you disconnect the oil pump and counterbalance shaft at top dead center. BMW pairs it with a second special tool, part 83-30-2-318-117, to lock the balance shaft in place. This is a Genuine BMW special tool sold as a single piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginal BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis BMW number is sold under several names, including balance shaft lock tool, engine timing tool, and counterbalance shaft TDC tool. All of them describe the same part. Its stated role covers only the oil pump and counterbalance shaft. If 83-30-2-318-117 is not already in your toolbox, order it with this piece, because the locking step uses both. A balance shaft turns in step with the crankshaft to cancel the secondary vibration a four-cylinder engine produces. That is why its timing matters once its drive has been disturbed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: BMW (Genuine BMW special tool)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: 83-30-2-212-825\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescription: counterbalance shaft TDC tool, also called a balance shaft lock tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunction: holds the oil pump and counterbalance shaft at top dead center for disconnection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompanion tool: 83-30-2-318-117\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngines: N20 and N26\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually as one tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 24-month parts warranty on Original BMW Parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need another tool to lock the balance shaft?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
