Keep your engine's valvetrain in precise time with the CLOYES timing chain 9-130 (also written 9130), a High Performance double roller chain that synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft(s) so each cylinder's valve events happen on schedule. It's a direct-fit replacement across a wide range of classic Ford and GM V8 and six-cylinder engines — from the 1975-1996 Ford F-150 (V8-5.0L) and 1977-1996 Ford F-150 (V8-5.8L) to the 1955-1975 Chevrolet Bel Air — covering engines including L6-4.1L, V6-4.3L, V8-5.0L, V8-5.7L and V8-7.4L. With 582 applications, see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Cloyes recommends replacing the sprocket(s), tensioner(s) and guide(s) at the same time as the chain, since these components play a vital role in timing-system stability and accuracy.
Does the CLOYES timing chain kit include sprockets, guides and a tensioner?
This listing is for the timing chain only. Cloyes recommends also replacing the sprocket(s), tensioner(s) and guide(s) at the same time, since they play a vital role in timing-system stability and accurate timing.
What does an engine timing chain do?
It links the crankshaft and camshaft(s), keeping them synchronized so the valves open and close at the correct point in each cylinder's cycle.
Is the 9-130 the correct Ford F-150 timing chain?
It's listed for the 1975-1996 Ford F-150 (V8-5.0L) and 1977-1996 Ford F-150 (V8-5.8L), among 582 applications. Confirm your exact engine in the Buyer's Guide tab before ordering.
What are the signs a timing chain may need replacing?
A worn or stretched chain can cause a rattle at the front of the engine, timing that is off, or a check-engine light. Diagnose the cause first, since other parts can produce similar symptoms.
Does this chain have timing marks?
No, this chain has no timing marks. Follow your engine's service procedure to set valve timing correctly during installation.
