Detailed Description

Cloyes C-3039 is an engine timing set designed for direct application coverage on select GM LT1 platforms. It is built as a specific-fit timing kit rather than a universal replacement, and it uses an inverted tooth chain to support consistent timing drive operation. This timing set is a practical choice for owners servicing a 1995-1997 Chevrolet Camaro LT1, a 1995-1997 Pontiac Firebird LT1, or a 1995-1996 Chevrolet Corvette LT1 where accurate valve timing is critical. The set also applies to 1994-1996 Buick Roadmaster, Cadillac Commercial Chassis, Cadillac Fleetwood, and Chevrolet Caprice applications listed for this part number. Cloyes C-3039 cross-references ATP 103039 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive timing chain wear
• Timing chain stretch affecting cam timing accuracy
• Noisy timing drive operation
• Loss of synchronization between camshaft and crankshaft
• Service replacement for worn LT1 timing components

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code and vehicle application before installation, since this part is listed for specific LT1-equipped models only.

Follow factory service procedures for timing alignment and component indexing to maintain correct engine timing. Part number C-3039 should be matched to the exact year, make, and model shown in the fitment data.
