AAPEX 2022: Cloyes Offers Turnkey Timing Chain Replacement

Replacing a timing chain in a vehicle is a big job that Cloyes makes easy for aftermarket shops.

While the timing chain is supposed to last the life of the vehicle, sometimes this critical part wears out prematurely due to poor preventive maintenance.

Replacing the serpentine belt in most light vehicles, the timing chain plays an essential role in the proper operation of the engine, as well as in a wide range of accessories that it activates or coordinates.

With the proliferation of car manufacturers’ timing chains, we’re also seeing an increase in the complexity of parts,” says Ryan Smith of Cloyes. “For one replacement, you can have up to 26 separate components. Our advice is to replace them at the same time as you replace the chain, to avoid problems in the future. That’s why we deliver complete assemblies to get the job done right, with no customer feedback.”

Cloyes has all the tips for effective replacement of this part on their YouTube channel.
