Cloyes designs its timing components with CAD-based engineering and validates them for durability and proper operation, helping maintain stable valve timing in high-mileage service.

This part cross-references 103213 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Timing chain stretch that can affect camshaft and crankshaft synchronization
• Excessive timing noise from worn chain components
• Erratic engine timing caused by aging sprockets or chain wear
• Loss of timing accuracy in L29-equipped Chevrolet and GMC vehicles
• Service replacement for worn timing drive components in select trucks and vans

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code and application before ordering, since this part is specific to L29-equipped vehicles and some Chevrolet listings note use on early-engine configurations. Confirm the vehicle year, make, model, and engine details against the catalog before installation. Inspect related timing components and engine sealing surfaces during service to ensure the new timing set can be installed correctly and operate as intended.
