Product Overview

The timing chain links the crankshaft and camshaft drive so the engine valves operate in the correct sequence.

A stretched chain or worn guides can cause timing faults or internal noise, but diagnosis must also include tensioners and camshaft adjusters. M272 and M273 engine parts must not be assumed identical.

Check engine code, chain length/link count, timing system generation and OE chain number. GL450 uses a V8 in many years and should not be assumed compatible solely from the original listing.

No. Unless the product listing explicitly states otherwise, this is an aftermarket replacement. The manufacturer names and OE references identify applicable equipment, not the maker of this item.

How do I check fitment?

What if my model year appears above but the part looks different?

Do not install it based on the model year alone. Factory equipment changes by engine, build date, trim, mounting style, and option package. Match the original part number and physical connections first.
