Cloyes 9-4176 Engine Timing Chain - Center or Upper

Cloyes 9-4176 Timing Chain for Nissan

Cloyes 9-4176 is a steel double roller engine timing chain built for specific Nissan applications. It is engineered with precision pitch control for accurate chain-to-sprocket tooth engagement and stable valve timing in the engine valvetrain.

Compatible with 1991-1997 Nissan 240SX upper, 1998 Nissan 240SX center, and 1993-1997 Nissan Altima upper applications, this timing chain is a direct-fit service part for timing drive repair. The Cloyes 9-4176 timing chain is a practical choice when replacing a worn chain during engine timing service on Nissan 240SX and Nissan Altima models.

• Steel construction for timing drive durability
• Double roller chain design
• 2-row chain layout
• 3/8 in. chain pitch
• 48 links with 3 timing marks
• Overall length: 8 7/8 in.
• Specific fit timing chain for listed Nissan applications

Detailed Product Overview

This Cloyes timing chain is CAD designed and manufactured using premium materials, then measured and tested for fit, function, and durability. The 9-4176 part number identifies a specific engine timing chain application, and the chain’s 7-plate construction and 0.98 in. width support accurate timing drive operation. For service work on Nissan 240SX and Nissan Altima engines, proper chain-to-sprocket fitment is critical to maintaining valve event synchronization between the crankshaft and camshaft(s). This part cross-references Nissens (e.g., 94176) for the same application.

Common Timing Chain Problems It Can Address

• Excessive timing chain stretch
• Noise from a worn or loose timing drive
• Incorrect camshaft and crankshaft synchronization
• Timing mark alignment issues during engine service
• Reduced valvetrain timing stability from aged chain components

Installation Notes and Tips

When replacing the Cloyes 9-4176 timing chain, Cloyes recommends replacing the chain tensioner(s), sprocket(s), and guide(s) at the same time. These components work together to maintain system stability and accurate timing. Verify engine application, position, and timing mark alignment before final assembly on 1991-1997 Nissan 240SX upper, 1998 Nissan 240SX center, and 1993-1997 Nissan Altima upper configurations.
