A timing chain links the crankshaft to the camshaft so the valves open and close in time with the pistons. This engine timing chain kit puts the components for that job in one box, whether you need a 1984-2000 Jeep Cherokee timing chain kit or a 1996-2002 Dodge Dakota timing chain kit.
A rattle from the front of the engine, often at startup, may be a sign that the timing chain needs replacing. Poor running can also point to a timing problem if the chain has stretched or jumped a tooth. Diagnose the cause first. If the timing chain is worn, this kit is designed to replace it.
What does the Cloyes 9-4023S timing chain kit do?
It replaces the timing chain components that keep the camshaft turning in step with the crankshaft. That lets the valves open and close at the right moment relative to the pistons.
