FMBP 48560T-9 Engine Timing Set

Performance Timing Set

The Melling 48560T-9 engine timing set is built for performance-focused rebuilds that need matched timing components and precise cam timing control. It combines a double roller chain with billet steel sprockets and an adjustable keyway for setup flexibility.

• Double roller timing chain for stable timing component engagement.
• Billet steel camshaft sprocket for strength and durability.
• Adjustable keyway with up to 4.0 degrees advance or retard at the camshaft.
• Sprockets included for a complete timing component package.
• Performance grade construction for engine rebuild and upgrade applications.

Detailed Application Coverage

Compatible with a wide range of GM and related V8 applications, including Chevrolet Silverado, Tahoe, Corvette, Camaro, GMC Sierra, Yukon, Cadillac Escalade, and Pontiac Firebird models. This 48560T-9 timing set is listed for applications with a 4.890-inch center distance and is suited to engines where adjustable cam timing is required during assembly or tuning. It also cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 9-3658TX-9, LS4158) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Worn or stretched timing components during engine rebuilds.
• Need for adjustable cam timing during performance setup.
• Replacement of mismatched or aging sprockets and chain components.
• Timing noise or inconsistent valve timing caused by wear.

Installation Notes

Verify engine center distance and application match before installation. Confirm cam timing settings during assembly, especially when using the adjustable keyway. Follow the engine builder’s timing procedure and inspect related valve train components before final assembly.
