Narrow Timing Assemblies On
General Motors 2.8L (173 CID) VIN W Engines
In order to squeeze the 2.8L (173 CID) V6 engine into the 1986 and later high performance Chevrolet Cavalier Z24, General Motors narrowed the timing sprockets and chain assembly to fit behind a slimmer front cover.
As of the 1987 model year, GM also changed the Celebrity to use the narrow chain assembly and cover.
The standard timing chain assembly will not fit behind this special shallow cover. Use the following aftermarket or GM part numbers when assembling this engine:
GM Aftermarket
Chain: 14102671 C371
Camshaft Sprocket: 14074399 S620
Crankshaft Sprocket: 14100571 S619
