As part of Gates Timing Chain Component Kits, CHK195 is engineered around OE-level function, fit, and performance standards. The kit uses a steel roller chain with steel camshaft sprocket construction and includes the drive sprocket for primary timing service.

Key Features

• Steel roller timing chain for durable timing drive operation
• Steel camshaft sprocket material for matched component construction
• Drive sprocket included for primary timing service
• Chain pitch of 9.525 mm and chain width of 14 mm
• Contents listed as timing chain and 2 sprockets
• Fits Chevrolet, GMC, and Pontiac V8 timing applications across multiple model years

Detailed Description

Gates CHK195 timing chain component kit is intended for engine timing service where the chain and sprocket set must work together to maintain camshaft timing accuracy. The roller-style steel chain and steel sprocket construction support consistent engagement in primary timing drive applications. This part cross-references Cloyes C-3210 and Dayco KTC1392 for the same application.

Compatible With Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, and Pontiac GTO timing drive applications, this kit also covers additional Chevrolet and GMC trucks, SUVs, vans, and performance models listed in the fitment data. The part number CHK195 is useful when matching the correct timing chain kit for engines that use primary sprockets only.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a worn or stretched engine timing chain
• Restoring camshaft timing synchronization
• Addressing timing noise from chain wear
• Servicing primary sprocket wear in the timing drive
• Correcting timing-related drivability concerns caused by chain slack

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine application carefully before ordering, since fitment varies by year, make, and model. This kit does not include chain guides or a tensioner, so inspect related timing components during service and replace any worn parts as needed. Confirm that the engine uses the primary sprocket configuration shown in the fitment notes before installation.

Quality Assurance

Gates builds timing drive products for original equipment and replacement markets, and this kit is designed to meet or exceed OE standards in function, fit, and performance. Part number CHK195 reflects a timing chain component kit engineered for dependable timing service across supported Chevrolet, GMC, and Pontiac applications.
