Cloyes 9-0381SA timing chain kit for the 2005-2009 Buick LaCrosse V6 3.8L and other vehicles links the crankshaft and camshaft so valve timing stays accurate. The engine timing chain kit is put together for a quick, efficient replacement.
A rattle at the front of the engine, uneven running or a check engine light can mean the chain, sprockets or guides are worn, though a faulty camshaft position sensor or crankshaft position sensor can be behind them too. Each engine takes one kit, and replacing all the timing components together keeps the system matched.
Built for the V6 3.8L timing drive, the kit also fits the 2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala V6 3.8L and the 1995-2002 Chevrolet Camaro V6 3.8L.
