That timing control supports fuel economy and efficient engine operation. Melling engineers this sprocket actuator for proper installation and dependable operation, and the hardened steel construction adds durability for long-term use. This part cross-references Cloyes VC107 and Dorman - OE Solutions 917-254 for the same application. It is a fitment-based choice for Chevrolet Malibu, Buick LaCrosse, and GMC Terrain applications where accurate VVT operation is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat It Is Used For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestoring variable valve timing function when the original sprocket actuator wears out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrecting cam timing issues that affect engine performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddressing rough running caused by timing control problems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelping recover fuel economy lost to inefficient valve timing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacing a damaged or rusted camshaft sprocket actuator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify engine code, position, and fitment notes before installation, since this part is listed for both N\/A and exhaust applications.
