Detailed Description

This INA timing chain kit is built for balance shaft chain service where complete component replacement is preferred over piecemeal repairs. The kit is engineered to provide the necessary chains, tensioners, and guides for the application, and some vehicle-specific versions also include gears and sprockets. For added protection during initial operation, the included chain additive is formulated to reduce friction during break-in and limit early wear.

Compatible With select 1974-1989 Chrysler, Dodge, Mazda, Mitsubishi, and Plymouth models, including Fits 1974-1980 Dodge Colt, Fits 1979-1982 Dodge D50, Fits 1983-1989 Mitsubishi Mighty Max, and Fits 1982-1985 Chrysler LeBaron. This part cross-references 5591050100 for the same application. The INA ZC-9-4145S is a practical choice for technicians servicing older import and domestic platforms that use a balance shaft chain setup.

What It Helps Address

• Chain stretch or timing chain wear in balance shaft systems
• Noisy chain operation from worn tensioners or guides
• Timing instability caused by aged chain components
• Break-in wear after a chain service
• Incomplete repairs when multiple wear items are replaced separately

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code, timing layout, and application details before installation, since coverage varies by vehicle and configuration. Inspect sprockets, guides, and tensioning components for wear before assembly, and follow the factory timing procedure closely to maintain correct balance shaft operation. Confirm the vehicle match against the listed fitment before ordering.

Quality Assurance

INA timing chain kits are assembled to provide the essential components needed for a complete repair, and the included additive is supplied for reduced friction during the initial run-in period.
