Chevrolet Traverse Timing Chain
Timing Chain Chevrolet traverse holds the role of synchronizing the rotation of the camshaft and the crankshaft in regards to valve timing, which is paramount to the vehicle's engine operations. Located at the front of the engine this metal chain has to be lubricated for it to work properly and it is used in high displacement engines since it is more durable than the rubber timing belts which have to be changed regularly. Since torque reversals are inherent of pushrod engines Chevrolet Traverse models incorporate the use of short chain drive in their pushrod engines; this dispels gear drive noise and wear. As much as timing chains are quite reliable, they can have problems rooted from the lubrication failure or even from the tensioner and chain guides. Another sign of a faulty timing chain system is or an audible metallic knocking sound originating from the front of the engine.
Each OEM Chevrolet Traverse Timing Chain we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part.

The following steps outlined below must assume that we have already got rid of the engine, subframe and transaxle assembly, right? Begin by disconnecting the battery ground cable negative terminal, drain oil out of the car and remove oil filter. Remove spark plugs for easier engine rotation; drivebelt and tensioner; Intake Manifold; valve covers; water pump; power steering components without disconnecting lines; alternator; Crankshaft Pulley; Camshaft Position (CMP) sensors; camshaft position actuator valves; engine mount bracket; drivebelt idler pulley thermostat housing. Disconnect each corner bolt with a bolt close to the water pump to release cover from block at bottom end of engine cover and carefully separate from block tapping gently with soft mallet. Turn the crankshaft till primary timing chain sprocket mark aligns with oil pump housing mark at five o'clock position. Engage special tools onto camshafts remove rear cylinder head timing chain tensioner bolts and cautiously take off tensioner. Release special holding tools off cams (camshafts). Repeat this process for lower or primary timing chain on front cylinder head. Clean components replacing as necessary and reset tensioners. Installation with crankshaft sprocket aligned with woodruff key ensuring timing marks are aligned as well as special tools on the camshafts. Mount timing chains, guides and tensioners ensuring accurate positioning of all timing marks, remove camshaft retaining tools. Rotate crankshaft till sprocket mark align with oil pump housing mark at 9 o'clock position; use special locking tools to lock up the cams (camshafts) and proceed to install the rear cylinder head timing chain. Insert inner and outer guides, a new tensioner gasket as well as the tensioner itself. Repeat this process for front cylinder head primary timing chain. Clean timing chain cover carefully, apply RTV sealant then slide over crankshaft using aligning studs before tightening cover bolts. Reinstall everything in reverse but only check proper engine rotation before starting it.
