is this the sort of thing most mechanics have? When I do my cam swap, do I have to supply that tool?

Or is it not really necessary?

Looks like a one size fits all.... It would not be mitsubishi specific.:D

boy am i glad you made that....................:D

does this only suit 2nd gen V6 or have you had a chance to see if it works on a 3rd gen too?

I made my out of 19mm plywood and it works perfactly !.
