Detailed Description

This Cloyes timing chain guide is designed to meet or exceed OEM performance requirements and is manufactured using CAD-based design and advanced materials. As a timing chain tensioner guide, it helps maintain the chain path between the crankshaft and camshaft, supporting stable valve timing in engines that rely on a chain-driven system. Cloyes recommends replacing the chain tensioner, sprockets, and guides together when servicing the timing chain, and part number 9-5437 is a direct replacement for applications that call for this guide.

Compatible With 1996-2001 Nissan Maxima, 1996-2001 INFINITI I30, 2001-2004 Nissan Pathfinder, and 2001-2003 INFINITI QX4. This part cross-references 130912Y001 for the same application. The Cloyes 9-5437 timing chain tensioner guide is also referenced by part number 95437.

What It Helps Address

• Timing chain noise from worn guide surfaces
• Chain movement caused by guide wear or damage
• Valve timing instability related to guide deterioration
• Service issues during timing chain replacement
• Fitment concerns on specific Nissan Maxima and INFINITI I30 applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine application by year, make, and model before installation. Inspect the timing chain, tensioner, and sprockets during service, since worn components can affect guide life and chain control. Confirm the mounting hole location and dimensions against the original part before assembly.

Quality Assurance
