Cloyes Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Chain Kits and Components Offer Technicians A Complete Repair Solution

Cloyes, the market leader in timing systems and components, continues to expand its Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Chain Kit product line. VVT components are naturally part of the timing system and it makes sense for Cloyes to offer VVT system components that work with our current timing system components. Cloyes’ expertise in modern timing systems, combined with its manufacturing and quality standards, resulted in the company developing VVT actuators and solenoids that work as good as or better than OE units in the most demanding applications.

Cloyes VVT Chain Kits offer technicians a complete repair solution for higher mileage vehicles. These kits are designed for the replacement of worn or damaged timing chains, tensioners, sprockets, guides, VVT solenoids, and VVT actuators, also known as cam phasers.

TESTING AND DEVELOPMENT.

Throughout its 99-year history, Cloyes has developed an unmatched product portfolio by bringing industry-leading timing system products to life through a disciplined research and development approach. The Cloyes engineering and product development team verify all products meet and / or exceed OE specifications by design and problem solve common fail points where possible. For nearly a century, Cloyes has been building its business and reputation by offering the highest quality timing systems and components. It doesn’t matter what timing system you’re working on, Cloyes has a solution. That’s what we’ve been doing for the past 100 years: providing solutions to your timing needs.

Cloyes parts are CAD designed and manufactured using premium materials. Each part is extensively tested and measured for function, fitment, and durability to ensure optimal performance.

  • VVT solenoids are 100% tested during production. Test parameters include fitment, leakage, maximum oil flow, and holding duty cycle. Components also put through real-world testing environments.
  • VVT sprockets are 100% tested during production. Test parameters include adjustable angle, leakage, locking pin functionality and friction. Components also put through real-world testing environments.

IMPROVED PERFORMANCE.

For the popular 3V Ford 4.6-liter and 5.4- liter applications, Cloyes has developed a uniquely designed actuator that is superior to the OE and competitive aftermarket product, performing better under low oil pressure conditions by eliminating contact between rotor and stator resulting in 10% more torque and 20% less internal drag.

EXTENDED ENGINE LIFE.

For the 3V Ford 4.6-liter and 5.4- liter applications, the original equipment (OE) spring actuated vanes within the actuator produce drag and wear over time.

Other aftermarket competitors’ actuators have spring actuated nylon vane seals that are prone to wear.

Cloyes’ unique frictionless design results in 10% more torque and 20% less internal drag.
