Installation Notes and Tips

Replace the timing chain guide when the chain is serviced, and inspect the tensioner and sprockets at the same time. Cloyes recommends replacing the chain tensioner(s), sprocket(s), and guide(s) together because these components work as a system to keep the chain tight and properly aligned. Verify application details by year, make, model, and upper position before installation.
