Product Details

The Gates VCP936 cam phaser / cam actuator is designed for vehicles that use exhaust-side variable valve timing to manage engine breathing and timing advance. Gates builds this sprocket to OE specifications so it matches the original component’s dimensions and operating characteristics. If you are servicing a Chevrolet Malibu, Cadillac CTS, or GMC Terrain with VVT-related timing concerns, this part number VCP936 is a direct replacement option for the listed applications.

This part cross-references OE numbers 12627114 and 25203205 for the same application.

Common Issues It Can Help Address

  • Rough idle caused by inconsistent exhaust cam timing
  • Check engine lights related to VVT or cam timing faults
  • Reduced engine response from worn cam phaser components
  • Timing noise or irregular camshaft operation
  • Loss of fuel economy tied to inaccurate valve timing control

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code, exhaust-side position, and OE part number before installation. Inspect the timing chain, guides, and related valve train components during service, since wear in adjacent parts can affect VVT performance. Follow factory timing procedures and torque specifications to ensure correct cam phaser alignment.

Quality Assurance

Gates designs this Engine Variable Valve Timing Sprocket to OE performance standards and tests it to help restore engine performance, fuel economy, power output, and emissions control in the listed applications.
