Single Row Timing Chain Kit | 1983-1984 22R & 22RE

Single Row Timing Chain Kit with Plastic Guides

Ensure the long-term reliability and precise valve timing of your early 22R-series engine with this Single Row Timing Chain Kit. Specifically engineered for the unique 1983-1984 transition years, this kit provides a comprehensive overhaul solution for engines that came factory-equipped with a single-row setup. By refreshing these critical components, you prevent the common "chain slap" that can lead to catastrophic timing cover damage and engine failure.

Technical Precision for the 22R/RE

• Chassis-Specific Fitment: This kit is designed strictly for the "Early" single-row block found in the 1983-1984 model years. It accounts for the specific deck height and component configurations unique to this two-year production window.
• Complete Overhaul Components: This is a "job-ready" kit featuring high-quality cam and crank sprockets, a high-strength single-row chain, a hydraulic tensioner, and a complete set of gaskets and crankshaft oil seals for a leak-free installation.
• OE-Style Plastic Guides: Includes precision-molded plastic timing chain guides that offer quiet, smooth operation and meet factory specifications for a direct, bolt-in replacement.
• Direct Compatibility: Engineered to maintain the original factory configuration, making it a straightforward choice for stock restorations or standard maintenance.

Key Features

• Exact OE Replacement: Every component is matched to factory tolerances, ensuring a seamless fit without the need for modification.
• Durable Chain Design: The heavy-duty single-row chain is built to resist stretching, maintaining accurate cam-to-crank synchronization under high-mileage use.
• Preventative Reliability: Eliminates timing chain rattle, protecting your aluminum timing cover from being grooved by a loose or stretched chain.
• Comprehensive Gasket Set: Includes the necessary seals and gaskets to ensure the front of the engine is properly sealed during the reassembly process.
