Well after several 300exs and years I have decided that I may like to have a cam chain tensioner lock tool. I know its easy just to use a screwdriver, but it would be nice to just use a lock tool when inserting the tensioner bolts. Anyone know where to get one? If not I may try making as per the honda manual diagram

no one makes one you have to make your own

This is what it shows in the service manual for anyone who didnt know. I have always used a small flathead screwdriver bent at 90 degrees.

Correct.. it will. I have made this thing out of thin sheet metal. follow the diagram measurments and it will work perfectly. I still have mine after 2 years.. i used it 4 times. its a handy little thing to have. Might as well just make one.
