Motor tools

Discover the TOOLATELIER strobe lamp, Mecatechnic's famous tool brand.

Before describing the strobe lamp with advance phase shift, it is useful to describe the operating principle of the ordinary setting strobe lamp (without advance phase shift).

The strobe lamp is a lamp that operates on the stroboscopic principle. Namely, a rotating part of the motor is described as stationary by reference to a very brief flash that occurs several times in synchronization with the rotation of the motor.

The part of the engine that is described as stationary using the strobe light is a timing mark that the carmaker has provided on one of the engine's rotating components, such as the fan belt pulley or the engine flywheel. There is always a fixed mark on the engine, close to the point where the moving mark passes through, which is used as a reference point for the rotating mark.

In addition to the standard lamp, the phase-shifting strobe lamp is equipped with a self-powered flash tube that is independent of the spark plug and the phase-shifting electronic circuit. In this case, the degree of ignition advance required by the vehicle can be set by means of a knob on the pistol. The flash will be triggered with a delay in relation to the spark plug ignition, and will therefore be out of phase.

This complete set of TOOLATELIER brand tools enables you to test the compression of diesel and gasoline vehicles on most modern engines, vans, trucks, buses and agricultural machinery.

This TOOLATELIER valve honing tool is an indispensable aid for restoring car and motorcycle engines.

What's the point of valve honing ?

Good engine performance depends on valves with correct seats and seals. Poorly seated or carbonized valves, together with worn guides and stems, lead to hot gases escaping under pressure, reducing performance and increasing engine deterioration. Symptoms include loss of power and poor starting.

How does the run-in work?

It converts rotation into oscillating movement. Very practical, it fits standard 5/16"(8 mm) chuck drills. Polishes valves in two quick passes, producing gas-tight seals in seconds. Suction cup diameters 22/28/30/39 mm fit most valves.

Allows valves to be honed in the same way as by hand (oscillating movement), but much faster and more evenly.

This set of tools is essential for the maintenance of injector seats so that they keep their sealing properties.

Used to clean your rods, tips and nozzles.

Delivered with two cleaning brushes and a control cone for perfect centring.

It also has sealing plugs to prevent any deposits from falling into the combustion chamber.

Universel, it is suitable for a wide range of brands such as BMW, Mercedes, Renault, Peugeot, Citroen, Fiat an many others...
