Detailed Description

Melling 3-160S is built for engine timing service where matched chain and sprocket components are needed together. The double roller chain design is paired with included sprockets to support accurate valve timing in compatible Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth engines. This part cross-references Cloyes C-3028 and Dayco KTC1448 for the same application. Part number 3-160S is listed across many stock and heavy-duty double roller timing chain applications, including Dodge Charger, Dodge Dart, and Plymouth Barracuda fitments.

The Stock product line focuses on practical replacement coverage for rebuilders who need timing components that match the application without unnecessary complexity.

Common Uses

• Restoring worn timing chain and sprocket assemblies.
• Correcting timing noise from stretched chain components.

• Addressing timing drift caused by aged sprockets.
• Servicing classic Mopar valve train components.

Installation Notes

Verify engine application, timing cover clearance, and sprocket alignment before installation. Confirm whether the engine calls for a stock or heavy-duty double roller timing chain listing within the fitment data. Follow factory timing marks and service procedures during assembly.
