What It Helps Address

• Timing chain noise from a worn guide surface
• Chain misalignment in the upper or center upper timing path
• Wear-related timing system service needs during chain replacement
• Guide damage from age, heat, or high-mileage operation
• Loss of proper chain tracking in Lexus and Toyota timing systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code and timing cover configuration before installation. Cloyes recommends replacing the chain tensioner(s), sprocket(s), and guide(s) when servicing the timing chain, since these parts work together to keep the chain tight and properly tracked. Confirm the application by year, make, model, and position before ordering 9-5798.
