Detailed Description

Cloyes 9-5365 is an engine timing chain guide designed to meet or exceed OEM performance requirements. It is CAD designed and manufactured with advanced materials, then tested for function and durability to support quiet, maintenance-free operation in the timing system. This guide helps keep the timing chain aligned between the crankshaft and camshaft, which is critical for consistent valve timing in applications such as the Chevrolet Cavalier, Pontiac Sunfire, and Pontiac Grand Am.

This part cross-references 24575256 for the same application. The 9-5365 timing chain guide is also listed for the Chevrolet Malibu, Oldsmobile Alero, Buick Skylark, and Oldsmobile Achieva in right-side applications.

What It Is Used For

• Timing chain noise caused by worn guide surfaces
• Chain tracking issues in the right-side timing path
• Valve timing instability from guide wear
• Replacement during timing chain service on GM 3.1L-era engines
• Wear-related chain contact on the guide shoe

Installation Notes and Tips

Replace the timing chain guide when servicing the chain, and inspect the chain tensioner and sprockets at the same time. Cloyes recommends replacing the tensioner(s), sprocket(s), and guide(s) together because these components work as a system to keep the chain tight and properly aligned. Confirm right-side placement and application details before installation.
