Cloyes C983 Engine Timing Chain

Cloyes C983 Engine Timing Chain

The Cloyes C983 engine timing chain is built to keep crankshaft and camshaft rotation synchronized for accurate valve timing and stable engine operation. It is a steel, inverted-tooth timing chain with timing marks and an 82-link layout, made for OE-level fit and quiet running in supported Nissan applications.

Use this timing chain for service work on the Nissan Frontier, Nissan Rogue, Nissan X-Trail, and Nissan NV350 Urvan where precise timing chain replacement is required. Cloyes C983 is engineered for a proper chain-to-sprocket tooth fit and consistent performance in timing system repairs.

• Timing marks included for alignment during installation
• 82-link design with 0.25 in pitch and 0.4675 in width
• Single-row chain construction
• Built for accurate crankshaft and camshaft synchronization
• Cross-reference: Anchor 9983 and OE number 130284JM0A

Detailed Description

Cloyes C983 is an engine timing chain designed for Nissan timing system repair where exact valve timing matters. The inverted-tooth steel construction supports smooth operation and durability, while the marked chain helps with timing alignment during service. This part is a direct-fit timing chain solution for 2021-2024 Nissan Frontier, 2017-2019 Nissan Rogue, 2016-2017 Nissan X-Trail, and 2017-2019 Nissan NV350 Urvan applications.

For timing chain service on Nissan Frontier, Nissan Rogue, or Nissan X-Trail engines, C983 provides the chain component needed to restore proper synchronization. Cloyes recommends replacing the chain together with related timing system components during service to maintain timing system integrity.

What This Part Helps Solve

• Timing chain stretch that affects camshaft and crankshaft synchronization
• Noise from a worn or fatigued timing chain
• Incorrect valve timing caused by chain wear
• Timing alignment issues during engine service
• Reduced engine performance linked to timing system 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 correctly, and inspect the tensioners, guides, and sprockets for wear before reassembly. Proper timing setup is critical on Nissan Frontier, Nissan Rogue, Nissan X-Trail, and Nissan NV350 Urvan timing chain service.
