Product Details

This Cloyes Timing Chain Guide is part of the Cloyes Timing Chain Guide line, a product family focused on timing components for engine valve train service. The guide acts as the track that the timing chain follows between the crankshaft and camshaft, helping maintain chain alignment in engines that rely on precise valve timing. 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 supported. This part cross-references 95787 and 55353999 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Addresses

• Timing chain noise from worn guide surfaces
• Chain tracking issues caused by damaged or fatigued guides
• Valve timing instability related to guide wear
• Service needs during timing chain replacement
• Wear in high-mileage Cruze, Volt, Sonic, Trax, Encore, and ELR engines

Installation Notes

Install on the left side only for the listed applications. Inspect the timing chain, tensioner, and sprockets during service, and replace any worn components at the same time to restore proper chain control. Verify engine code and application details against the vehicle before installation.

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 performance in service.
