Cloyes Engine Timing Set P/N:C-3079
Cloyes C-3213 timing set for the 1996-1999 Chevrolet C2500 V8 7.4L and other vehicles links the crankshaft to the camshaft to time the valves. The set includes a crankshaft sprocket, a camshaft sprocket and a chain.
A stretched chain or worn sprockets can show up as a rattle at the front of the engine, a rough idle or hard starting. Those signs alone do not prove the timing set is the problem, since a weak ignition component can cause a rough idle too.
