Help keep the camshaft turning in step with the crankshaft with the INA US Timing Chain Kit ZC-C-3023X, a premium-grade kit that pairs a timing chain with matching camshaft and crankshaft sprockets. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1988-1995 Chevrolet K1500 (V8-5.0L and V8-5.7L), the 1962-1985 Chevrolet Impala (V6-3.8L, V6-4.3L, V8-4.4L, V8-4.6L, V8-5.0L, V8-5.3L, V8-5.4L, V8-5.7L and V8-6.6L) and the 1978-1983 Chevrolet Malibu (V6-3.3L, V6-3.8L, V8-4.4L, V8-5.0L and V8-5.7L), as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.
Because the chain and both sprockets come together in one kit, they can be replaced during the same job. The chain wraps the crankshaft and camshaft sprockets to link them, which is how valve timing stays in step with piston movement.
- In the box: one timing chain, a camshaft sprocket and a crankshaft sprocket.
- Not included: tensioner, chain guides, gaskets and drive sprocket. Consult the vehicle service information for which of these your repair calls for, and order them separately.
- Grade: premium.

Signs a timing set may need replacing include a rattle from the front of the engine, especially at start-up, rough running, or excess chain slack found during inspection. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts.

What does a timing chain kit do?
The chain links the crankshaft and camshaft sprockets so the camshaft turns in step with the crankshaft. This helps keep the valves opening in time with the pistons.
What are signs the timing chain may need replacing?
Common signs include a rattle from the front of the engine, especially at start-up, rough running, or excess chain slack found during inspection. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts.
