Ever wonder why undersized timing chain sets exist? When an engine is line honed before rebuilding, it moves the camshaft and crankshaft closer together—causing a loose chain fitment.

In this Cloyes tech byte, Cody Smith breaks down why this happens and how our 100% center-distance-checked, undersized matched sets give you the exact timing and tight fitment you’re looking for.

Visit cloyes.com to learn how to make an accurate center distance measurement for your build!
