Detailed Description

Melling 3-704S timing chain kit is engineered as a direct service solution for engines that need replacement timing components during overhaul or repair. The set is designed around quality sprockets and chain components to support accurate timing alignment in Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, Dodge Ram 1500, and Jeep Grand Cherokee applications, among others in the listed fitment range. The 3-704S part number is also cross-referenced to other aftermarket and OE numbers for the same application, which helps simplify parts matching during engine service.

As part of the Melling Stock line, this kit reflects the brand’s focus on practical coverage and service-level replacement parts. It is suited to rebuilders and technicians looking for a timing set that matches the application requirements without adding adjustable features.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing worn timing chain components during engine rebuilds
• Restoring correct camshaft and crankshaft timing relationship
• Addressing chain stretch, sprocket wear, or timing noise
• Supporting repair work on high-mileage Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep engines
• Matching service parts to the 3-704S application

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code and timing component layout before installation, since fitment notes indicate the crankshaft sprocket will not fit OEM oil pumps in the listed applications. Confirm all timing marks and component orientation during assembly, and inspect related wear items before closing the engine.

Quality Assurance

Melling manufactures timing chain kits with quality materials and workmanship for service and rebuild use. This part cross-references Cloyes 9-0704S and DNJ TK1160 for the same application.
