The timing chain transfers rotational movement through the engine’s timing system so the camshafts open and close the intake and exhaust valves at the correct moment in the combustion cycle. Accurate synchronization between the crankshaft and camshafts is essential for optimal engine performance, efficiency and reliability.

Replacing worn or stretched timing chains helps maintain correct valve timing and prevents potential engine damage caused by timing inaccuracies.

Function
• Engine Timing Synchronisation: Links the intermediate shaft and camshafts
•  Valve Control: Ensures intake and exhaust valves operate at precise timing intervals
•  Durability: Designed to withstand continuous high-speed engine operation
•  Direct Replacement: OE Match construction ensures correct fit and performance

Timing chains operate continuously under high load and temperature inside the engine. Over time they may stretch or wear, which can lead to inaccurate valve timing, engine noise, or performance loss. Installing a new OE Match timing chain helps maintain precise engine timing, ensures smooth operation of the valve train and protects critical engine components from premature wear.

Consider replacing the timing chain when:
•  Performing a major engine rebuild
•  Servicing the timing system or chain tensioners
•  Experiencing timing chain noise or rattle
•  High-mileage engine maintenance
