Dorman - OE Solutions Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Sprocket P/N:917-252
Dorman 917-263 VVT sprocket for the 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer 6-cylinder 4.2L and other vehicles replaces a worn factory sprocket on the camshaft. Also called an engine variable valve timing sprocket, it is a variable timing camshaft gear made to install and perform like the original.
The VVT sprocket is key to an engine's performance and clean running. If a worn one is the cause, signs can include rough running, lost performance or a check engine light, but other faults can look alike. Before replacing it, look around the camshaft area with the engine off and cool for oil leaks or damage, and leave testing of the VVT system to a shop.
It fits the 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT 6-cylinder 4.2L and the 2005 GMC Envoy 6-cylinder 4.2L as well, among a wide range of other vehicles. Each takes a single sprocket. If your vehicle is not named here, search the Buyer's Guide tab for its year and engine.
