Ok guys does anybody know where I can find a timing chain kit for the camshaft? Im looking and cant find it for the life of me!!! I really need this and so if anyone can help out I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Rockauto has a timing set but its sketchy $156: SEALED POWER Part # KT4017S More Information About this Part Timing Set - Complete
Timing Set - Complete; Incl. Crank, Bal. Shf. Chain, Bal. Shf. Guide (3), Bal. Shf. Sprocket (2), Bal. Shf. Tensioner

Looks like the balance shaft set to me. But, they do have all the parts you'd need under the 2.4L

 

crate engine depot has them, great company too

 

I didn't wasn't to start another thread on this, but are the 2.0, 2.2, 2.4 timing chains interchangeable?

 

They are the same for the 2.0 and 2.2 but not for the 2.4

 

is ther a set interval we are supposed to change these things at? i have 150K miles on my LE5 and wondering if i should do it.

 

If you're thinking about it, then most likely I would change it. Does it make any noise or have any rattle? For the most part timing chains are for the life of the vehicle.

 

well i trusted a auto parts store, thinking i got the right timing kit. well i got one for a 2.0 or 2.2. everything bolted up just fine. started the car and everything was fine for about 10 seconds, then a loud rattle started. so safe to say its the chain :/

 

One more question! How many links are in the timing chain and what pitch? Thanks alot

Oh ya. Its for the 2.4 le5
