Tech Info: Timing Chain Kits
VAICO timing chains are made of metal alloy and therefore withstand any load. In addition to traction capacity and endurance strength, resistance to abrasion is one of the most important quality of our chains. Learn more about our products!

Our longstanding experience has shown that a professional repair of the timing chain requires to replace all components. Therefore, we have decided to carry as of January 2019 VAICO timing chains only as sets. Depending on the vehicle application and the assembly options, several sets will be available.
As a result of the dynamic movement between the chain pin and the sleeve, both parts inevitably wear out over time. The so-called “elongation” of the chain can lead to, for instance, an increasing
play in the chain joints.
Our chain tensioners are designed to ensure a long-lasting and consistent function under any load. They are produced with high accuracy of fit, which facilitates the installation.
To improve shock-absorption and minimise the noise, the timing chain is led over guides made of high-quality plastic. These guides benefit from a resistant coating with advanced emergency running properties.
Guides are made of high-performance thermoplastic. The gears of the camshaft and the crankshaft are characterised by a high accuracy of fit. In order to minimise wear, the ending tips of the gears benefit from a specific shape and treatment.
