You get what you pay for, I’ve purchased cheap chain sets. Then I replaced that chain kit before the cheap one broke after just 23,000 miles.

Does anyone know if the 2011's still have the timing chain issue with the 2.2?

ALL Ecotecs have an issue with the timing chain andntensioners.
I'm replacing mine this Thanksgiving weekend @ 171k
Since I can't have guests over I might as well do something.

It’s a recommended replacement part, 80,000 to 120,000 miles as the chain does stretch.

Cloyes 9-4201SA and 9/4202S kits are recommended along with a Melling front guide upper bolt
