What does an engine timing chain kit do?

The timing chain drive links the crankshaft to the camshafts so the valves open and close in time with the pistons. This kit supplies replacement components for that system.

Gates says contents vary by application and may include camshaft sprockets, crankshaft sprockets, timing chains, tensioners and guides. Check the Gates catalog for this kit's contents.

What are signs the timing chain components may need replacing?

Common signs include a rattle from the front of the engine, especially at start-up, rough running, or a check engine light. Have the cause diagnosed before you replace parts.

Is installing a timing chain kit a DIY job?

It is an involved repair that requires setting cam and crank timing correctly. Follow the vehicle service information for the procedure, timing marks and torque specs, or have a qualified technician install it.
