Chevy CK Pickup Timing Chains, Gears & Covers

Synchronicity between the crankshaft and camshaft is vital for the function of four-stroke engines: the intake and exhaust valves, operated by the camshaft, should open and close in perfect timing with the strokes of the pistons. A two gears connection and a timing chain are the most common ways to achieve perfect valve timing. The former is more reliable but expensive and stipulates a notable weight increase, hence preferred in heavy-duty vehicles; the latter is less expensive, and most cars and trucks are usually equipped with timing chains. The Chevrolet CK Pickup is known for overall high quality of its engine parts, as well as for eating up miles without showing even a small sign of weakness!

Timing gears are very robust and are designed to last, however, they can still wear out over time. Timing chains are more prone to wear and tear than gears. If you hear a rattling noise from the running engine, it can be a symptom of the timing chain “stretch” due to wear. Do not ignore such symptoms, as the failure of a timing chain can eventually ruin the engine! Browse our online catalog for a large choice of Chevy CK Pickup timing gears, chains, and covers.
