Cloyes Engine Timing Gear Set P/N:2542S
Cloyes 2537 outer engine timing crankshaft gear for the 1975 Chevrolet Malibu 6-cylinder 4.1L and other vehicles sits on the crankshaft and drives the timing chain. Along with the chain, tensioners and guides, it is a core part of the timing system.
A worn gear can show up as chipped, hooked or uneven teeth, or as noise from the timing system. Noise like that can also come from other timing parts, so when the timing cover is off for a rebuild, look over the teeth and keyway and measure the bore against the spec before you replace the gear.
This gear fits the 1975 Chevrolet Malibu 6-cylinder 4.1L, the 1959-1965 Chevrolet Impala 6-cylinder 3.8L and the 1960-1966 Chevrolet Suburban 6-cylinder 3.8L, and more vehicles beyond them. A 1975 Chevrolet Malibu 6-cylinder 4.1L takes one. If your car is not named here, look it up in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
