cloyes

Cloyes is good but there are new and improved OEM timing kits out for the S series.

SOHC - 21008552 - $145.00 Est DOHC - 21008553 - $170.00 Est

I would suggest the OEM kits.

Thats about $50 over the Cloyes price. Is the improvement mostly about the new OEM set has an improved oil pump cover plate that allows for better chain protection? I am assuming the Cloyes set does not make for this change.

Improved lubrication of the chain. That's what the new kit is designed=20 to do. The only reason you would need to change the timing chain in the=20 lifespan of a car is because it was poorly lubricated. Granted you can=20 get the cloyes kit and the car would probably be long dead before the=20 chain ever needs replaced again. The improved lubrication is just a good=20 piece of mind IMO. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with Cloyes,=20 they make good stuff. I just dont think they done anything to address=20 the lubrication issue. I would base the judgement on how many miles are=20 on the car now, its condition, and estimate how much more life it has in=20 it. If you think you can get another 200k miles out of it I would go=20 with the OEM kit.
