Ultimate Timing Chain Kit | ES3161661

Timing chain guides are a main failure point in BMW engines. Common symptoms of failure include excessive vibration or “slap” from the timing chain, and the possibility of plastic particles throughout the oil. Symptoms typically begin to surface between 80,000 and 100,000 miles. If left untouched, the issue can compound itself so far as to allow the timing chain to jump out of time, leaving you with a potentially damaged head and larger repair costs.

This kit has been assembled using genuine BMW components. From new timing chain guides to a replacement engine access plugs, this kit has you covered to assure that all the needed parts are on hand and ready to install.

Kit includes:

• Timing chains, guides, tensioners, and hardware for both timing chains and the oil pump drive
• Valve cover & oil pan gaskets
• Access plugs & gaskets for the chain guide bolts
• Two gallons of coolant
• Nine quarts of oil
• Oil filter
