Cloyes 9-0390SX timing chain kit for the 1997-1999 Chevrolet Malibu 4-cylinder 2.4L and other vehicles replaces the chain set that links the crankshaft to the camshaft.
- Chains are pre-stressed and heat-treated
- Precision pitch control gives a close chain-to-sprocket fit that reduces noise and fatigue and helps hold accurate timing
- Sprockets are CAD designed and heat-treated, with precision-tooled tooth form, bore, off-set and timing index
- Tensioners use spring tension or hydraulic pressure, depending on the design
- Chain guides give the timing chain a path and, depending on the design, apply tension to it
- Each part is tested for function, fitment and durability
Quick facts
- Part: Cloyes 9-0390SX timing chain kit
- Also called: engine timing chain kit
- Fits: 1997-1999 Chevrolet Malibu 4-cylinder 2.4L and other vehicles
- Condition: New
A stretched chain or worn guides can show up as a rattle at start-up, rough running or a check engine light. Those signs alone don't prove the chain is at fault, since a failing crankshaft position sensor can light the same lamp. When the chain is replaced, replace all the timing components with it so the whole system is renewed.

The 1997-2002 Chevrolet Cavalier 4-cylinder 2.4L and the 1997-2002 Pontiac Sunfire 4-cylinder 2.4L both take this kit, and so do other vehicles; each takes one kit. Not seeing your car here? Look it up in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
