Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine application and right-side position before installation. When replacing the timing chain, Cloyes recommends replacing the chain tensioner, sprockets, and guides at the same time because these components work together to keep the chain properly supported and tensioned. Confirm mounting hole size and guide dimensions against the original part before assembly.

Quality Assurance

Cloyes designs and manufactures timing components with CAD-based engineering and advanced materials, then tests each part for function and durability to support consistent operation in the timing system.
