Engine Timing Chain Kit for Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorento, and Hyundai Azera

This complete timing chain kit replaces worn primary and secondary chains, tensioners, guides, and sprockets to restore precise camshaft-to-crankshaft synchronization on 3.3L and 3.8L V6 engines.

Overview

The engine timing chain kit provides all components needed to overhaul the timing system of Lambda V6 engines found in Hyundai and Kia vehicles. This kit restores silent chain operation and stable valve timing, making it essential for high-mileage engine refresh projects. Professional technicians and experienced DIYers rely on this engine timing chain kit to eliminate startup rattle and prevent timing-related engine damage.

Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Do I need a timing tool kit to install this chain set? A: Basic hand tools are sufficient for disassembly, but a camshaft holding tool and crankshaft pin are recommended to keep timing marks aligned while replacing the chain.

Q: How can I confirm this kit matches my engine? A: Confirm your engine displacement (3.3L or 3.8L) and vehicle model year; the kit covers most Lambda V6 engines in the listed platforms but always verify with a VIN-based parts lookup.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
