Cloyes C900 Engine Timing Chain

Cloyes C900 Timing Chain for Select Hyundai and Kia Engines

The Cloyes C900 timing chain is a specific-fit engine timing chain engineered for precise crankshaft and camshaft synchronization. Built with steel construction and an inverted tooth design, it is made for applications that demand accurate valve timing in Hyundai, Kia, and Mitsubishi engines.

As part of the Cloyes Timing Chain line, this component reflects the brand’s focus on timing drive systems for stock replacement and performance service. Cloyes designs and manufactures timing components with CAD-based engineering and precision pitch control to help maintain proper chain-to-sprocket engagement.

Key Features

• Steel timing chain with inverted tooth construction
• Specific fit for application-matched installation
• 6.35 mm chain pitch for proper sprocket engagement
• 180-link design with 22 1/4 in. overall length
• 3 timing marks for alignment during service
• Single-row chain layout with 0.46 in. width
• Engineered for valve train timing accuracy

Detailed Description

The Cloyes C900 engine timing chain is designed to keep the valvetrain in correct time by synchronizing crankshaft and camshaft rotation. Its precision pitch control supports accurate tooth fitment, while the steel inverted tooth design is built for durability in timing drive service. This part number, C900, is used across a wide range of Hyundai, Kia, and Mitsubishi applications, including 2006-2015 Hyundai Sonata, 2010-2013 Hyundai Tucson, 2010-2013 Kia Forte, 2011-2013 Kia Sorento, and 2008-2017 Mitsubishi Lancer.

This part cross-references Anchor 9900 for the same application. For service planning, Cloyes recommends replacing the chain tensioner, sprockets, and guides at the same time as the chain to maintain system stability and accurate timing.

What This Timing Chain Helps Address

• Excessive timing chain stretch
• Noise from a worn timing drive system
• Incorrect camshaft and crankshaft synchronization
• Timing-related drivability concerns
• Service replacement for worn engine timing components

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify application details before ordering, especially for 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe models built before 12/01/2011.
• Confirm timing marks during installation to maintain correct engine timing.
• Inspect chain tensioners, sprockets, and guides for wear before reassembly.
• Use the vehicle-specific service information for the exact timing procedure.
• Compatible with select 2006-2020 Hyundai, Kia, and Mitsubishi models listed in the fitment data.

Quality Assurance

Cloyes manufactures timing drive components using premium materials and extensive testing for function, fitment, and durability. The C900 timing chain is CAD designed and measured to support consistent performance in the specified applications.
