The kit is assembled to reduce friction between parts and maintain proper chain-to-sprocket engagement, which is important when servicing the engine timing system. Using coordinated components instead of mixing sources helps maintain the intended relationship between the chain, guides, tensioner, and sprocket. This part cross-references Cloyes 9-4311S and Dayco KTC1406 for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible With Chevrolet Cruze, Chevrolet Volt, Chevrolet Sonic, Buick Encore, Chevrolet Trax, Cadillac ELR, and Chevrolet Cruze Limited applications listed above.
