What It Helps Address

• Timing chain noise from worn guides or tensioner components
• Excess chain slack in the valve train
• Timing system wear during engine repair
• Need for a complete timing chain service on listed Nissan models
• Break-in friction after timing component replacement

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code and timing cover configuration before installation, then compare the removed components to the kit contents. Replace worn timing components as a set to maintain proper chain alignment and tension. Follow factory timing marks and service procedures carefully during assembly, especially on Nissan Frontier, Nissan Xterra, and Nissan Altima timing chain service.

Quality Assurance

INA timing chain kits are built with the components needed to complete the repair correctly the first time. In certain applications, the kit includes a high-performance chain additive formulated for reduced friction during break-in and lower run-in wear.
