What is the role of the timing chain?
The timing chain has the important job of synchronizing the crankshaft rotation with the camshaft. This direct link provides the timing of the valves during their opening and closing sequences.
What makes a Cloyes timing chain Kit Good?
Leveraging its expertise in timing drive systems, Cloyes utilizes the latest in design and technology to offer complete timing chain kits. Cloyes parts are CAD designed and manufactured using premium materials. Each part is extensively tested and measured for function, fitment, and durability to ensure optimal performance
What should I do if my timing chain is making noise?
Use a socket and breaker bar to attach to the center bolt on the belt tensioner pulley. Turn it clockwise to unload the belt tension and then slip the belt off the pulley. Start the engine. Use the stethoscope to listen for noise at the timing chain cover.
What’s the difference between the K series timing chain?
Now let’s have a closer look at the timing chain, which you can find among all K-Series engines. The major difference is the material they’re made of – metal instead of rubber. However the rubber belt produces less noise while the engine is running, the chain is much stronger and therefore more reliable. Another difference is the location.
