Saturn LS1 Timing Chain
The Timing Chain in Saturn LS1 vehicles ensures that the camshaft and crankshaft rotate properly so that the valves in the engine open and close when they are supposed to. While for most vehicles, the LS1 uses a rubber timing belt, the metal timing chain is more permanent one that does not need to be replaced very often. Problems with oil or tensioner failure are some of the interactions with the timing chain system that cause rattle noise from the engine. For pushrod engines such as LS1, a short chain drive is utilized as a preference over gear drive due to torque reversal noise and wear, making it a more reliable and quieter option for those engines.
Each OEM Saturn LS1 Timing Chain we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
