Description

Keep the crankshaft and camshaft turning in precise time with the Cloyes Engine Timing Set C-3008K. This timing set drops in as a direct-fit replacement across a wide range of AMC and Jeep applications, including the 1966-1974 American Motors Ambassador, 1968-1974 Javelin, 1970-1977 Hornet, 1971-1978 Matador, 1974-1980 Jeep Cherokee, 1971-1981 Jeep CJ5, and 1972-1980 Jeep Wagoneer — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 31 applications.

Synchronizes valve timing: ties crankshaft rotation to the camshaft so the valves open and close in time with the pistons.
Matched drive components: supplies the paired crankshaft and camshaft drive gears that keep the two turning in sync.
Serviced as a set: installing the matched components together lets them wear in as a unit for consistent, quiet operation.

A stretched or worn timing set lets the camshaft fall out of sync with the crankshaft, which can show up as a rattle at the front of the engine, slipping timing, and rough running. If a worn timing set is the cause, this replaces the original components to restore proper mesh between the crank and cam. Diagnose the cause before replacing.

Manufacturer part number C-3008K (also C3008K).

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Cloyes C-3008K timing set do?

It ties the crankshaft to the camshaft so the valves open and close in time with the pistons, keeping the engine's valve timing synchronized.

Which vehicles does it fit?

Many AMC and Jeep models, including the 1966-1974 Ambassador, 1968-1974 Javelin, 1974-1980 Jeep Cherokee, and 1971-1981 CJ5. See the Buyer's Guide tab for all 31 applications.

What are signs my timing set may need replacing?

A rattle at the front of the engine, timing that slips, and rough running can be signs of a stretched chain or worn gears. Diagnose the cause before replacing.

Does it fit both AMX generations?

It's listed for the 1968-1970 AMX and, separately, the 1978-1979 AMX — these are distinct application spans, so check your exact year in the Buyer's Guide.

Should I replace the whole set at once?

Yes — installing the matched drive components together lets them wear in evenly for quieter, more consistent operation.
