Red Series Billet Steel Timing Chain Kit

This kit includes a 7-key-way crankshaft sprocket, allowing for fine-tuning of cam timing in 2-degree increments, which translates to 1-degree adjustments at the camshaft due to the 2:1 timing relationship. These multiple key-ways provide a secure and stable connection, preventing the common issues associated with offset dowels. Constructed with a billet steel foundation, the crank gear is induction hardened for enhanced wear resistance. The kit is paired with a premium grade Iwis full roller timing chain, known for its strength and longevity. This combination offers a lightweight yet robust solution compared to other timing sets. No additional machining, offset bushings, or cam gear drilling are required for installation. This specific timing chain kit is designed for VR models with engine code VH1426331 onwards. It is important to ensure your vehicle's engine code matches the specified range, as conversions from earlier or later models may require a different chain kit. The manufacturer notes that a re-stocking fee will apply if an exchange is necessary. Additionally, for applications requiring a double-row timing chain, clearance between the oil pump and the chains is crucial, and a separately sold machined oil pump cover may be required.
