Toyota Timing Chain Kit FAQs
What is included in a typical 22R timing chain kit?
A typical 22R timing chain kit includes a new timing chain, timing cover gaskets, a chain tensioner, and sometimes plastic or metal guides, providing everything needed for a successful installation.

The chain tensioner keeps the timing chain taut, preventing slack and ensuring smooth operation. This component helps maintain proper timing and alignment within the engine.
