Engine Parts Installation Warning
Timing components and other internal engine parts must only be fitted by a suitably qualified technician with the correct tools and reference data. Incorrect installation of a timing chain kit on an AAA 2.8 VR6 engine can lead to serious engine damage, including bent valves, piston contact and loss of compression.
Before installation, your mechanic should verify compatibility for TK1535 using the VIN and engine information, inspect all mating surfaces and related components, and check that oil supply and tensioner operation are within specification. Any signs of previous internal damage or excessive wear must be resolved before the new parts are installed.
Engine Parts Return Policy Warning
Internal engine components such as timing chain kits are sensitive precision parts. Once the packaging has been opened or the parts have been trial fitted, marked with oil, dirt or tool marks, they are generally not returnable.
Returns for TK1535 will only be considered where the incorrect part was supplied and the kit is still unused, clean and sealed in the original packaging. Please double check vehicle and engine details before opening the box to protect both workshop safety and product integrity.
