Crankshaft Sprocket

The Honda Genuine 13620-RAA-A02 is a direct replacement engine timing crankshaft sprocket, designed to maintain the precise timing of your Honda's engine. Also referred to as a crankshaft gear, timing gear set, or timing pulley, this component is crucial for the proper operation of the engine's timing system. This OEM part is manufactured by Honda and is guaranteed by their factory warranty, ensuring quality and reliability. It is designed to replace previous iterations, specifically part numbers 13620-PNA-000 and 13620-RAA-A01. The part is listed for a broad range of Honda vehicles, including Accord, Civic, CR-V, and Element models, primarily from the 2002 to 2015 model years, with specific applications for 2.0L and 2.4L engines. When installing this part, it's important to follow proper procedures. For instance, after removing the timing chain tensioner pin and variable timing sprocket, it is recommended to slowly turn the crankshaft clockwise for two revolutions and then recheck the timing marks and camshaft sprocket index marks for proper alignment. If replacing components on a 2015 Honda Civic, ensure the crankshaft is rotated counterclockwise slightly to compress the chain tensioner before proceeding.
