Affordable and legit special tool part to use. Experienced mechanic/technician level. Need to know "how to do". Used and performed tool on my BMW 525i 2007 3.0L head cylinder. Did a replacement due to oil filter housing broken bolt hole and excessively engine oil seep. Unable to bolt on correctly so head cylinder needed replacement. 5 out of 5 for me on this special tool.
