SKF VKML71014NA Engine Timing Chain Kit

Engine Timing Chain Kit Overview

SKF VKML71014NA is an engine timing chain kit built around OE-style component replacement for the timing system. It includes the chain, tensioner, guides, and sprockets needed to service the timing drive as a matched assembly.

Compatible With Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon, Hummer H3, Hummer H3T, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Saab 9-7x, Isuzu Ascender, Isuzu i-290, and Isuzu i-370 applications covered by the listed fitment.

Key Features

• Roller timing chain design with timing marks for accurate alignment during service.
• Includes chain guides and a tensioner to restore timing system control.
• Includes sprockets and drive sprocket components for a complete timing drive service.
• Engineered as a matched kit to avoid mixing parts from different sources.
• SKF part number VKML71014NA for catalog and cross-reference use.

Detailed Description

SKF VKML71014NA is a timing chain kit for engine service repairs where the timing drive needs to be renewed as a complete assembly. The roller chain, guides, tensioner, and sprockets are packaged to follow OE system recommendations, helping maintain proper chain engagement and reduce friction between components. This approach is especially important in timing service, where component mismatch can affect chain tracking and sprocket wear. This part cross-references Cloyes 9-0195SB and Four Seasons 76190 for the same application. SKF VKML71014NA is listed for Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon applications, along with additional coverage for Hummer, Saab, and Isuzu models in the fitment table.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a stretched or worn timing chain assembly.
• Restoring chain tension control when the tensioner is no longer functioning correctly.
• Renewing worn guides that can create noise or uneven chain movement.
• Addressing sprocket wear that can affect timing accuracy.
• Servicing timing drive components as a matched set instead of mixing parts.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine application and timing alignment before installation. Use the timing marks during assembly and follow the service procedure for the specific engine. Inspect related timing components and sealing surfaces during repair to confirm the system is ready for reassembly.

Quality Assurance

SKF timing chain kits are assembled as OE-referenced component sets for timing system service. VKML71014NA is built to provide the correct combination of chain, guides, tensioner, and sprockets for the listed applications.
