Product Details

Cloyes has focused on timing systems since 1921, and the C976 reflects that experience with a chain engineered for accurate valve timing and consistent operation. The steel, pre-stressed, heat-treated construction is intended to maintain a precise fit between the chain and sprockets, helping support quiet operation and long-term durability in Hyundai Sonata, Kia Sorento, Kia Optima, and related applications. Cloyes recommends replacing the chain together with the tensioners, guides, and sprockets during timing service to maintain system integrity.

What This Timing Chain Helps Address

Excessive timing chain stretch
Noise from a worn timing drive
Camshaft and crankshaft timing correlation issues
Timing mark alignment concerns during engine service
Valve timing irregularities caused by chain wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code and timing system configuration before installation. Use the timing marks on the chain to align the crankshaft and camshaft positions exactly as specified for the vehicle. Inspect the tensioners, guides, and sprockets during service, since worn components can affect chain life and timing accuracy. This timing chain is used in select Hyundai Tucson, Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sportage, and Kia Stinger models, so confirm fitment by year and model before ordering.

Quality Assurance

Cloyes timing components are manufactured from premium materials and backed by the brand’s technical support and industry-leading warranty. The C976 is built to OE-level standards for service work on Hyundai and Kia timing systems.
