Cloyes® - Variable Timing Solenoid

Prompt delivery, OE quality.

All very good.

Great price chain kit. I order this kit after my water pump gave out. Since I was replacing the water pump, I decided to change the timing chain as well.The Kit includes all the parts needed to do the job right. The best thing is that Cloyes has a very informative YouTube video that explains how to install the kit as well. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xeaf-fXcSs0 .

Was the only place I could find one for my car (in stock as well ), good quality parts a good price.

Looks good.

I've installed this chain kit in my 2000 Saturn and the part numbers of the gears and chain were OEM numbers. The oilier though seem of a different design then the updated GM oilier. I have about 25,000 miles on the chain since install and have no problems at all. With all the problems GM had with these chains and the cost involved when they let loose, I can only go with the updated OEM chain even though there are cheaper clones on the market. 2003 and up had the redesigned oilier and that is what I believe this kit contains.

If you're changing the timing chain, tensioner, or removing the head on your 2.2 ECOtec get this kit. As long as you don't mess up the timing cover gasket, this kit has everything you'll need down to the torque-to-yield cam bolts. I wasn't sure about getting this kit as I wasn't 100% if i'd need new cam bolts or the gears - I was trying to do this repair as cheap as possible. Once I got into the motor I found you will definitely need new cam bolts as you'll need to unbolt the gears to have enough clearance to feed the new timing chain into the motor. The OEM bolts are torque-to-yield, as in they are one time use only. This kit also includes the newer style hydraulic tensioner and includes the updated oiler to ensure the timing set gets proper lubrication so you won't have the problems the early 2001s ECOtec's had with eating timing sets. I am glad I decided to go with the right (complete) kit. Not completely related to the kit but these 2.2 eco's are very easy to time, line up three marks and done. Definitely one of the easier OHC motors I've worked on. HOWEVER, the new crank gear doesn't have a clear timing mark like the OEM one had. To make sure I was looking at the correct mark I had to slip the old crank gear on in front of the new one. I am not sure if it was my kit just didn't get marked or if all are like that. So save your old parts as you remove them just in case until after you're finished.

This kit is made up of high quality parts and has everything to do the job except the crank pulley bolt (which is a one use only bolt). The cam bolts are not pictured but do come with the kit. The most significant feature in this kit is the updated tensioner assembly which is the most common cause of problems with cam chain.

Buy this set with confidence, it is a perfect fit for my 2000 5.4L Expedition. The timing chain guides are thicker than the OEM guides that are on the truck, so you will need a bolt from the dealer for the upper right guide. The OEM guides are also now made thicker, and the dealership knew exactly what bolt I needed.

I replaced my timing gear and chain set on 1986 Jeep CJ7 about a 2 years ago. My Jeep is still running, so I am pretty sure this gear set is doing it's job. I have put probably 6,000 miles on it.
