You can make your own cam locks from steel plate. The adjusters are another story.
A complete tool kit is less than $300 and easily resold.

So if I buy the complete tool set it will have everything I need? I read that the tool set comes with 2 locks,one for the 5 chain engines and one for the 3 chain. So as far as I can understand,I could only use one cam lock. Will that be enough?

Yes, you only need one lock. You only do one side at a time. Then rotate the engine.
Set the lock on the other side of the engine and re-time that side.

I read somewhere that on the 5 chain cars you only need to lock one side, the 1to3 cylinder side. Do you suggest I lock the other bank of cylinders as well?
