• Repeat timing service caused by replacing only the chain

Installation Notes and Tips

Use this guide only on the confirmed specific-fit applications listed above. When replacing the timing chain, Cloyes recommends replacing the chain tensioner, sprockets, and guides together so the timing system components work with the same wear pattern. Verify upper position fitment and mounting hole dimensions before installation, and follow the vehicle service procedure for timing alignment.
