Timing System Details

Cloyes timing chain tensioners are engineered to maintain appropriate chain tension based on the application’s design. This hydraulic unit helps support stable timing chain operation in engines where oil pressure is used to regulate tension. Cloyes recommends servicing the full timing system together, including the chain, tensioners, guides, and sprockets, to preserve timing system integrity. This part cross-references OE-style numbers 95808 and 12636527 for the same application.
