• Loss of engine response caused by worn phaser components
• Cam timing errors on high-mileage Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram engines

Installation Notes

For best results, replace the timing chain, tensioners, sprockets, and guides when servicing VVT components to keep the system stable and maintain precise engine timing. Verify exhaust-side application, timing marks, and phaser alignment during installation. Use the correct torque-to-yield attachment bolts and follow the service procedure for the specific vehicle.
