I used this tool to help me replace a timing belt in a 1993 Mazda Protege DOHC. My purpose in purchasing this tool was to hold the cam sprockets in proper alignment while we install the timing belt. It failed to hold the sprockets. First,not all of the anchoring teeth of the tool meshed with the grooves of the sprocket. Some were out of line. Two, the tightening screws did not provide enough holding tension. This was the main fault. We aligned the sprockets to their proper settings,held them in place with wrenches, applied the clamp, remove the wrenches and with the clamp in place, the sprockets would move because the clamp could not hold the tension. This thing does not work for the Mazda.
