What It Helps Address

• Timing chain slack in upper chain systems
• Chain noise from worn tension control components
• Irregular chain loading caused by aging tensioner parts
• Service issues during timing chain replacement on Cadillac and Buick engines
• Wear in related timing components when the chain system is not refreshed together

Installation Notes and Tips

Replace the chain tensioner, sprockets, and guides together when servicing the timing chain system. Cloyes recommends renewing these related components at the same time because they work together to keep the chain tight and properly supported. Verify application details in the catalog before installation, and confirm the upper-position fitment for your vehicle.
