Cloyes Engine Timing Set P/N:C-3079
Cloyes C-3018K timing set for the 1980-1985 Chevrolet Impala V6 3.8L and other vehicles drives the camshaft from the crankshaft with a chain and two sprockets. This engine timing set keeps valve timing in step with the crankshaft.
A rattle from the front of the engine, rough running or timing that drifts can mean the chain or sprockets are worn. Before replacing the set, look over the engine's other front-end parts with the engine off and cool, such as drive belts and covers, for loose or damaged pieces that could make a similar noise; a shop can check chain slack. The chain and both sprockets are replaced together.
The vehicles it fits include the 1978-1983 Chevrolet Malibu V6 3.8L and the 1980-1981 Chevrolet Camaro V6 3.8L, and each takes one set. The set is built for OE-level fit and function.
