Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm engine code and VIN match before ordering, since this kit is listed for multiple Toyota and Lexus platforms. Inspect sprockets, guides, and tensioner surfaces during teardown, and replace any worn timing drive components at the same time to help maintain correct chain alignment and timing stability.

Because these are interference-engine applications, follow factory timing procedures carefully and verify cam/crank timing marks before starting the engine. Use the Gates CHK141 only on the confirmed vehicle and engine combination listed in the fitment data.
