Detailed Description

Cloyes has supplied timing system components since 1921, and the 9-6176 reflects that focus on engine control parts. As an oil pump chain guide, it provides the track surface the chain follows so alignment stays consistent under operating conditions. This matters in BMW engines where chain guidance is critical to stable oil pump drive performance.

This part cross-references BMW 11417618941 for the same application. It fits BMW models including the M2, M4, 640i Gran Coupe, X6, 535i, and X1 across the listed model years. If you are servicing a BMW M3, BMW X5, or BMW 335i engine, the 9-6176 is the matching oil pump chain guide reference to verify against your application.

What It Helps Address

• Chain misalignment in the oil pump drive system
• Noise from a worn or unstable chain guide surface
• Reduced guidance control in the timing-related chain path
• Service replacement needs during engine chain system repair

Inspect the full chain system before installation. Cloyes recommends replacing the chain along with the tensioners, guides, and sprockets during service to maintain system integrity. Verify the part number 9-6176 and confirm fitment against the exact BMW model and year before installation.
