Gates VCP801 Intake VVT Sprocket

The Gates VCP801 is an OE-style engine variable valve timing sprocket for intake applications. Built to OE specifications for fit, form, and performance, it is designed for drivers servicing timing-related issues on vehicles such as the Chevrolet Malibu, Chevrolet Cobalt, and Buick Regal.

Gates’ Engine Variable Valve Timing Sprocket line focuses on restoring proper cam timing control with durable construction and OE exact comparison rating. The VCP801 uses a steel housing, timing chain drive, and a 46-tooth design to match the original application requirements.

Key Features

  • OE Exact comparison rating for direct replacement fitment
  • Intake variable valve timing sprocket for timing chain systems
  • Steel housing for durability and service life
  • 46-tooth design with .166 in tooth thickness
  • Overall diameter: 4.671 in; overall height: 1.526 in
  • Mounting hardware included where specified by the application
  • Gates VCP801 part number for catalog and service reference

Product Details

The Gates VCP801 cam phaser-style sprocket is engineered for intake-side variable valve timing control on a wide range of GM vehicles. It is built for applications that rely on timing chain actuation and precise camshaft positioning, helping maintain the engine’s original timing strategy. This part cross-references Dorman - OE Solutions 917-270 and Standard Ignition VVT523 for the same application.

Compatible With 2008-2012 Chevrolet Malibu, intake; 2006-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, intake; 2011-2013 Buick Regal, intake; and other listed Buick, Chevrolet, GMC, Pontiac, and Saturn models. The Gates VCP801 is a practical OE-style replacement when servicing intake VVT systems on these platforms.

Common Issues This Part May Address

  • Check engine light related to cam timing or VVT performance
  • Rough idle caused by incorrect intake cam phasing
  • Reduced power from timing chain-driven valve timing errors
  • Fuel economy loss tied to inconsistent valve timing control
  • Higher emissions from a worn or inaccurate VVT sprocket

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code, intake-side application, and OE part match before installation. Because this component works within the timing chain system, proper cam timing alignment and torque procedures are critical. Inspect related timing components, chain condition, and seals during service to help ensure the repair is completed correctly.

Quality Assurance

Gates manufactures this VVT sprocket to OE specifications using high-quality materials and testing focused on restoring engine performance, fuel economy, power delivery, and emissions control. The VCP801 is built as an OE-style replacement for service work on supported GM applications.
