Cloyes High Performance Engine Timing Chain P/N:9-134
Keep the crankshaft and camshaft spinning in precise sync with the CLOYES timing chain 9-134-5 (also cataloged as 91345), a high-performance True Roller replacement. A timing chain synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft(s) so the engine's valve events open and close at the correct moment for each cylinder, and this one installs at the front of the engine. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1990-1993 Chevrolet C1500 7.4L, 1975-1978 Ford F-150 7.5L and 1973-1978 Ford F-250 7.5L; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Measuring 12.25 in long and 0.93 in wide, it's made in Germany. Cloyes recommends replacing the chain tensioner(s), sprocket(s), and guide(s) at the same time, as these components play a vital role in system stability and accurate timing. Reduced-length chains (0.005" and 0.010") are available by adding -5 or -10 to the end of this part number.
