Key Features

• Steel timing chain construction for durability in engine timing service
• Silent chain design for smooth timing drive operation
• Chain guides included for complete timing path service
• Tensioners included to restore proper chain control
• Drive sprockets included for a more complete timing chain repair
• Compatible with select Honda CR-V, Honda Element, Honda Accord, and Acura TSX applications

Detailed Description

Gates CHK155 is an engine timing chain kit designed for select 2002-2011 Honda and Acura vehicles, including the 2002-2009 Honda CR-V, 2003-2011 Honda Element, 2003-2007 Honda Accord, and 2004-2008 Acura TSX. It includes timing chains, tensioners, guides, and sprockets to address the wear points commonly serviced during a timing drive repair. The kit uses steel chain material, steel camshaft sprockets, and a silent chain profile with a 6.35 mm pitch for OE-style timing operation.

For buyers searching for a Gates CHK155 timing chain kit for Honda CR-V or a Gates CHK155 timing chain kit for Acura TSX, this part provides a direct-fit service option for the listed applications. It is also a practical choice for Honda Accord and Honda Element timing chain replacement when the original timing drive components show wear, noise, or timing instability.

What This Part Helps Address

• Timing chain noise from worn chain or guides
• Cam timing inconsistency caused by stretched or fatigued timing components
• Rattle at startup related to weak tensioner performance
• Wear on sprockets and guide surfaces in high-mileage engines
• Service needs during timing chain replacement on listed Honda and Acura models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code and vehicle application before installation, since timing components must match the exact engine configuration. Inspect related seals, gaskets, and wear surfaces during service, and follow factory timing marks and torque procedures carefully. Because this is a timing drive repair, accurate alignment during assembly is critical to proper engine operation.

Quality Assurance

Gates develops timing drive components for original equipment and replacement markets, and this kit is engineered to meet or exceed OE standards in fit, function, and performance for the listed applications.
