Detailed Description

Melling 3-380S is an engine timing set designed around stock replacement requirements. The kit uses a steel camshaft sprocket and includes sprockets to match the timing chain components for the application. Melling positions this line for efficient engine rebuilds, with coverage that spans standard, heavy-duty, and performance timing needs across different service levels.

The 3-380S part number is also useful when cross-checking timing set listings during engine teardown or rebuild planning. This timing set cross-references Cloyes C-3072 and DNJ TK1140 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Worn or stretched timing chain components
