Cloyes 9-4201SA timing chain kit doesn’t include camshaft sprockets but does include crankshaft sprocket

Cloyes 9-4202SAX balance shaft chain kit no sprockets

Melling front guide bolt, prevent that front guide from breaking apart

I installed the ZZP front guide

Cured the issue from the black plastic OEM style guide.
