The Texas Speed Phaser Install Tool is a specialty tool for installing the camshaft phaser on GM Gen V LT engines. Texas Speed lists it for the LT1, L86 and L87 6.2L, the L83, L84 and L82 5.3L and the LT4, and includes the same tool in its Gen V LT camshaft packages such as the LT Low Lift Cam Kit and the LT1/L86 V2 Cam Kit.
Buying the tool separately makes sense for a shop doing repeat LT cam swaps or for a builder who bought a camshaft and 0 degree phaser limiter outside of a kit. Texas Speed publishes only the application for this tool, so no dimensions or material details are available to list here.

FAQ
What is the Texas Speed Phaser Install Tool used for?
It is used when installing the camshaft phaser on a GM Gen V LT engine during a cam swap or phaser lockout installation, and Texas Speed lists it for LT1, L86, L87, L83, L84, L82 and LT4 engines.
Is the phaser tool included with Texas Speed LT cam kits?
Yes. Texas Speed includes this phaser install tool in its Gen V LT camshaft kits, including the LT Low Lift Cam Kit and the LT1/L86 6.2L V2 Cam Kit. This listing is for the tool on its own.
Does this tool fit the LT4 phaser?
Texas Speed lists the TSP-PhaserTool for LT4 engines as well as LT1 and L83 engines. Texas Speed also lists a separate LT4 phaser tool part number in its LT4 V2 Cam Kit, so confirm with Texas Speed if the engine is an LT4.
Do I also need a phaser limiter with this tool?
The tool installs the phaser; it does not lock it. Texas Speed requires a 0 degree phaser lockout, sold separately as TSP-0DEGPL, with all of its Gen V LT aftermarket camshafts.
