MACE TIMING CHAIN KIT WITH GEARS TO SUIT SAAB 9-3 ALLOYTEC B284L TURBO 2.8L V6

These V6 engines are renowned for defective timing chains. That dreaded rattle at idle or a random check engine light could be the tell-tale signs that the factory chains have stretched. Prolonging the replacement of these chains could potentially lead to severe engine damage including bent valves, damaged pistons or worst case, an engine replacement.

Vehicle Fitment Guide

There may be a discrepancy for vehicles built on dates that borderline the change-over of the design of the timing chain. We cannot guarantee what kit you require if this applies to your vehicle. You can confirm by removing one of the cam covers and inspecting the chains that run over the cam gears.

Caution:

Once assembled, the timing chain tensioners need to be fully released to maintain adequate tension. Simply pulling the pins is not enough. All tensioners must be pressed in by hand for the internal mechanism to fully pop out and operate effectively. Following this, the motor is to be rotated by hand one full revolution in a clockwise direction to ensure all parts have been fitted correctly. Failing to follow these steps will result in a noisy timing chain upon start up and will require the motor to be disassembled again to access the tensioners.

Notes:

• A Timing chain kit without idler and crankshaft gears can be purchased through another listing.

• The oil pump guide may not fit on some engines.

• A detailed fitting guide is available through the fitting instructions menu.
