Take off the valve cover, this is enough slack to justify replacing the timing chain, it is an easy job if you have a few tools and some mechanical skills. Cloyes offer great kits and are available through RockAuto, and they offer us a discount.
Im just double checking that I can use the Cloyes kit and do not have to buy ACDelco for this part. I keep seeing all the ACDelco only posts so I just wanted to make sure. Thank you
I just purchased the Cloyes 94201SAWP kit. Purchased through RockAuto with discount.
It comes with both chains, balance shaft sprockets, crankshaft sprockets,guides and the water pump. $175.00
Don't forget the melling guide bolt.
Yes the Cloyes kits are preferred, available in different kits some with cam sprockets some without, depending on your engine and as mentioned with a water pump. We like to advise changing the water pump while the engine is apart for convenience, you’re gonna have dirty hands anyway, might as well do that now!
