Product Details

Cloyes has supplied timing system components since 1921, and the C741 oil pump chain reflects that experience with premium materials, heat treatment, and pre-stressing for stable chain performance. The chain is manufactured for a precise tooth fit at the sprocket, which helps maintain smooth operation in engines where the oil pump chain is adjacent to the timing system.
