Our take on the ZZP Ecotec Upgraded Complete Timing Chain Kit

A complete timing chain service kit for GM Ecotec engines, built around ZZP's patented upgraded timing chain guide. It bundles the upper and lower chain bolts, a GM Genuine tensioner, the water pump/balance shaft chain and guides, and a GM/Cloyes timing chain and rear guide. Cloyes gears are not included, so stock OE gears are reused. It suits owners doing a full service who want the upgraded guide and the balance shaft parts in one box rather than sourcing them separately.

About the ZZP Ecotec Upgraded Complete Timing Chain Kit

Our ZZP Ecotec complete timing chain kit includes everything needed to service your timing chain system while including our upgraded components to ensure worry free reliability and increased performance. We include our patented ZZP upgraded timing chain guide that addresses the flaws of a "stock style" replacement timing chain guide, you can read more on the details here .

Includes:

• ZZP Ecotec Timing Chain Guide

• ZZP Upgraded Upper Timing Chain Bolt

• OEM Lower Timing Chain Bolt

• GM Genuine Timing Chain Tensioner

• Upper Timing Chain Guide

• Water Pump/Balance Shaft Chain & Guides

• GM/Cloyes Engine Timing Chain & Rear Guide

• Balance Shaft Chain Tensioner

If you have an LSJ you will want to purchase 2x of the LSJ Camshaft Bolt as they are TTY.

If you have a VVT Ecotec such as the LE5/LE9/LAP or LNF/LDK/LHU you will need 2x of the LNF/LDK Camshaft Bolt as they are TTY.

Note: We do not include the Cloyes gears because we have found multiple issues with them over the years. Re-use all of the stock gears from your OE timing set, we have never found issue with them or seen wear over the thousands of Ecotec timing sets we've done.

Questions and answers

What engines does this kit fit?
It is built for GM Ecotec engines, including the LSJ and VVT Ecotec variants. Check your engine code against ZZP's listing before ordering, since LSJ cars need extra camshaft bolts.
Do I need to buy anything else for an LSJ?
Yes. LSJ owners need two ZZP LSJ camshaft bolts, sold separately, because they are torque-to-yield and should not be reused.
Are the timing gears included?
No. Cloyes gears are not in the box; the kit reuses your stock OE gears. Inspect them for wear before reuse.
Is the upgraded guide worth it over a stock replacement?
ZZP's guide is designed to fix the failure mode of stock-style guides, which is the main reason to choose this kit over a plain OEM set.
What is in the box?
The ZZP timing chain guide, ZZP upgraded upper chain bolt, OEM lower chain bolt, GM Genuine tensioner, upper guide, water pump/balance shaft chain and guides, GM/Cloyes chain and rear guide, and balance shaft chain tensioner.
Where is the ZZP Ecotec Upgraded Complete Timing Chain Kit cheapest?
At ZZ Performance, for $319.99, as of our latest check.
What do buyers say about the ZZP Ecotec Upgraded Complete Timing Chain Kit?
