Hi Everyone !

Just interested to hear if anyone has purchased & fitted one of these timing chain kits, that are available here in Australia.

K Series Timing Chain Refurb Kit Complete

Seems very cheap, for a kit that has so many bits included ?

Cheers Banjo

Do 4K use the same kit? There's a gap between the ad part at the top saying it fits 4K, but the compatible engines don't list it.

Should be fine! Be the guinea pig!

 

The D/Row refers to a double row chain. I don't think I ever seen a single row chain, on any of the numerous K series engines I've had over the years.  I'm not even sure if the crankshaft is a little shorter, for early K series engines, that only had a single row chain; & therefore; presumably a narrower crank sprocket.  No use asking A.I.  to find out; as He/She was not around in those early days !  According to Google AI, who I just asked to verify, it was the other way around. K series engines started off with double row timing chains. Toyota, then decided to use a single row chain; but as there was no difference to the length of the crankshaft; most of us, have upgraded to double row, since.  Please correct me, if I've assumed something here incorrectly.

Cheers Banjo
