Cloyes 9-0944SAX timing chain kit for the 2007-2013 BMW 328i 6-cylinder 3.0L and other vehicles keeps the crankshaft and camshaft turning in step. Depending on the application and kit selection, it brings the chains, sprockets, tensioners and guides of the timing system together in one box.
- Pre-stressed, heat-treated timing chains
- Precision pitch control for chain-to-sprocket fit, which reduces noise, minimizes fatigue and maintains accurate timing
- CAD-designed, heat-treated sprockets with precision-tooled tooth form, bore, off-set and timing index
- Tensioners that use spring tension or hydraulic pressure to tension the chain properly
- Chain guides that give the chain a path and, in some designs, apply tension to the system
- Timing components are tested for function, fitment and durability
Quick facts

- Also called: engine timing chain kit
- Fits: 2007-2013 BMW 328i 6-cylinder 3.0L and other vehicles
- Condition: New
A rattle from the engine, rough running or a check engine light can mean a stretched chain or a worn guide or tensioner, though other faults give similar signs. Find the cause first: with the engine off and cool, check the oil on the dipstick for metal flakes, and leave running tests to a shop. If you replace the chain, replace all the engine timing components together.
