Detailed Description

Cloyes 9-1134 is a performance engine timing set for Buick street engines that use an integral distributor drive gear. The adjustable billet crank sprocket gives you timing flexibility during engine assembly, while the double roller chain and metal sprockets provide a stable drive path for the camshaft. This timing set is a practical choice for Buick Century, LeSabre, Regal, Riviera, Skyhawk, and Skylark owners looking for a precise replacement timing set with adjustable cam timing capability.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 201134) for the same application.

Common Problems This Timing Set Addresses

• Excess timing chain slack that can affect cam timing accuracy
• Worn sprocket teeth from extended engine use
• Need for cam timing adjustment during engine build or service
• Reduced timing drive stability in higher-demand street applications
• Friction losses associated with a worn or outdated timing set

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine configuration before installation, including the integral distributor drive gear requirement listed for the supported Buick applications. Confirm cam timing settings during assembly and use the adjustable keyways to set advance or retard as needed within the available range. Inspect related timing components and engine sealing surfaces before final assembly.
