Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine application by year, make, model, and notes before ordering. Some listed vehicles note that the cam solenoid is ordered separately and not included in the kit, and certain early applications use cam sprockets integrated with the camshaft. Confirm the original part number and connector style against the removed component before installation.

Quality Assurance

INA timing engine components are engineered with durability in mind and built to meet or exceed original equipment quality and performance expectations for consistent, reliable operation.
