ABSTRACT:
A tool is provided for installing and aligning camshaft bushings in internal combustion engines. The tool includes a guide which fits into the bushing bore of the number one bushing in the engine block. The guide includes a spring-loaded engaging ball and depth shoulder for positioning the guide and orienting it with respect to the oil delivery passage in the engine block. The guide includes a central opening with a keyway, through which a shaft extends. The shaft is slidable with respect to the guide and includes protruding pins which engage the key way to orient the shaft. A working head holds a camshaft bushing, and a spring-loaded ball on the head engages the oil supply opening in the wall of the bushing to angularly orient the bushing on the head. With the shaft pins in the key way, a bushing on the head is exactly aligned with the oil delivery passages in the engine block. The bushings may then be installed by striking the other end of the shaft with a hammer. Depth gauge indicators are also provided.
