Gates CHK108A Engine Timing Chain Kit

Timing Chain Kit Overview

The Gates CHK108A timing chain component kit is built for engine timing service on select Nissan and Suzuki applications. It combines steel chain construction with silent chain design and includes the major timing drive components needed for a complete repair.

Compatible With Nissan Frontier, Nissan Xterra, Nissan Pathfinder, Nissan NV1500, Nissan NV2500, Nissan NV3500, and Suzuki Equator applications that match the listed fitment and notes.

Key Features

• Steel timing chain construction for durable timing drive operation.
• Silent chain design for smooth engagement.
• Includes chain guides, tensioners, and drive sprockets.
• Water pump included in the kit contents.
• Gates timing drive engineering backed by OE and aftermarket experience.

Detailed Description

Gates CHK108A is a timing chain component kit engineered for vehicles that require a full timing drive service rather than a single replacement part. The kit uses steel chains with a 6.35 mm pitch and includes plastic and aluminum guide components, steel camshaft sprockets, tensioners, and drive sprockets. Fitment notes specify water pump inclusion and exclusion of VVT sprockets, which is important when matching the correct engine configuration. This part cross-references Cloyes 9-0719SWP for the same application.

For Nissan Frontier, Nissan Xterra, and Nissan Pathfinder timing chain service, as well as compatible Nissan NV1500, NV2500, NV3500, and Suzuki Equator applications, CHK108A provides the components needed to restore timing drive function with OE-standard fit, function, and performance targets.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing worn timing chains that can cause noise or timing instability.
• Addressing stretched chain components in high-mileage engines.
• Restoring proper camshaft timing after guide or tensioner wear.
• Correcting timing drive issues related to sprocket wear.
• Servicing engines that require a complete timing chain component kit.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine configuration before installation, especially the note that VVT sprockets are excluded. Match the listed fitment exactly for the vehicle year, make, model, and application notes. Inspect related timing components and sealing surfaces during service to reduce repeat repairs.

Quality Assurance

Gates is a global supplier of timing drive systems in original equipment and replacement markets. CHK108A timing chain component kits are built to meet or exceed OE standards in function, fit, and performance.
