Detailed Description

Cloyes 9-5366 is an engine timing chain guide designed for specific GM vehicles that require a left-position guide. Cloyes manufactures timing components using CAD-based design and advanced materials, then tests each part for function and durability to support consistent timing chain control. This guide is used in timing systems where the chain must stay aligned and properly tensioned as it travels between the crankshaft and camshaft. This part cross-references Nissens 95366 for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Correcting timing chain noise caused by worn guide surfaces
• Replacing a cracked, broken, or grooved chain guide
• Restoring chain tracking in high-mileage timing systems
• Addressing timing chain slack related to guide wear
• Supporting service on 1996-2002 Chevrolet Cavalier and Pontiac Sunfire timing systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Install this guide only on the listed left-side applications. Cloyes recommends replacing the chain tensioner, sprockets, and guides together when servicing the timing chain, since these parts work together to keep the chain tight and properly aligned. Verify application details in the catalog before installation, and inspect the full timing set for wear before reassembly.

Quality Assurance

Cloyes designs and manufactures timing components to meet or exceed OEM performance requirements. Each guide is tested for function and durability to support reliable operation in the timing system.
