Product Details

INA timing chain kits are assembled to cover the essential wear components involved in timing system repair. For this application, the kit includes the chains, tensioners, and guides needed to service the timing drive. In some INA kits, gears and sprockets may also be included; for this part number, the listed contents do not include a drive sprocket or gaskets. This makes ZC-9-0390S a focused timing set for technicians replacing worn timing components on compatible GM engines.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
