Detailed Description

The Cloyes C995 timing chain is designed for engines that depend on exact valve timing. Cloyes manufactures its timing chains from premium materials and heat-treats and pre-stresses them to improve durability and help maintain quiet operation. The chain is intended for service work where timing accuracy matters, and it is part of a timing system that should be inspected as a whole during repair.

For Toyota Camry, Toyota Highlander, Toyota RAV4, Toyota Sienna, Toyota Venza, Toyota Avalon, Toyota RAV4 Prime, Lexus ES250, and Lexus ES300h applications, this chain supports timing system restoration when the original chain shows wear, stretch, or alignment issues. The C995 part number is also useful when matching the correct replacement chain for the listed fitments.

What It Is Used For

• Restoring correct crankshaft and camshaft synchronization
• Addressing timing chain stretch or wear
• Correcting timing mark alignment during engine service
• Reducing noise caused by a worn timing chain
• Supporting stable valve timing in high-mileage engines

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify fitment by year, make, model, and timing system configuration before installation. Cloyes recommends replacing the chain together with the tensioners, guides, and sprockets during timing service to maintain system integrity. Use the timing marks during setup and follow the vehicle service procedure for final alignment.
