The kit contains two 142-link closed timing chains, one 60-link closed chain and two timing chain tensioners. It is suitable for selected Porsche 987.2, 981, 997.2 and 991.1 engines.
What Does the Timing Chain Kit Do?
The camshaft timing chains transfer rotation from the crankshaft to the camshafts, keeping valve operation correctly synchronised with piston movement.
The oil pump drive chain transfers mechanical drive to the oil pump, which circulates pressurised engine oil through the lubrication system.
Both systems are critical to reliable engine operation.
Why Do Timing Chains and Tensioners Wear?
Timing components operate continuously whenever the engine is running. Over time, wear can develop through:
High mileage Chain and tensioner wear Poor or infrequent oil servicing Contaminated engine oil Incorrect chain tension Wear to associated guides or sprockets Previous internal engine problemsA worn timing system can produce chain noise or timing-related faults and, in severe cases, may affect correct camshaft timing.
When Should They Be Replaced?
Timing components should be inspected if there is abnormal chain noise, timing-related fault codes, excessive chain wear or evidence of tensioner problems.
They should also be carefully assessed during an engine rebuild or other major work where the timing system is already accessible.
Associated guides, sprockets and other timing components should be inspected at the same time.
Checks During Installation
When replacing the timing chains, also inspect:
- Timing chain guide rails
- Chain sprockets
- Camshaft timing components
- Oil pump drive components
- Tensioner contact surfaces
- Engine oil condition
- Oil passages
- Related seals and fasteners
Correct engine timing must be established using the appropriate Porsche engine timing procedure and specialist tools.

What This Product Does
The timing chains transfer crankshaft rotation to the camshafts so that valve operation remains correctly synchronised with piston movement. The separate oil pump chain and sprocket components transmit drive from the crankshaft to the engine oil pump.
Functions
- Connects the crankshaft and camshaft timing assemblies
- Transfers drive to the engine oil pump
- Supports controlled chain travel through the supplied rails
- Maintains the intended relationship between the chains and sprockets
- Allows related timing-drive wear components to be renewed during the same repair
Symptoms of Fault
- Increasing chain rattle during cold starting
- Persistent mechanical noise from the timing-chain area
- Timing deviation or camshaft correlation faults
- Rough running associated with timing drift
- Visible wear or damage to chain guide components
- Plastic or metallic debris discovered during engine inspection
Why Replacement Matters
Chains, guides, tensioning components and sprockets operate as a connected system. Renewing worn parts during an engine rebuild or diagnosed timing repair helps restore controlled chain movement and accurate valve timing while reducing the likelihood of repeat dismantling caused by retained wear components. Correct engine locking, timing procedures and tightening specifications must be followed during installation.
FAQs
- Does the kit include oil pump drive parts?
Yes. The supplied inventory includes the oil pump chain, tensioner blade and oil pump sprocket. - Are both camshaft timing chains supplied?
Yes. The kit contains two 9A110514203 chains. - Should every listed component be replaced together?
The required repair scope depends on inspection and diagnosis, although renewing accessible matched wear components can help avoid repeated labour. - Is specialist installation recommended?
Yes. Timing work requires engine-specific locking equipment, assembly procedures and torque settings.
Check fitment for your specific vehicle, model year and engine before ordering.

The timing chain transfers rotational movement through the engine’s timing system so the camshafts open and close the intake and exhaust valves at the correct moment in the combustion cycle. Accurate synchronization between the crankshaft and camshafts is essential for optimal engine performance, efficiency and reliability.
Replacing worn or stretched timing chains helps maintain correct valve timing and prevents potential engine damage caused by timing inaccuracies.
Function
• Engine Timing Synchronisation: Links the intermediate shaft and camshafts
• Valve Control: Ensures intake and exhaust valves operate at precise timing intervals
• Durability: Designed to withstand continuous high-speed engine operation
• Direct Replacement: OE Match construction ensures correct fit and performance
Timing chains operate continuously under high load and temperature inside the engine. Over time they may stretch or wear, which can lead to inaccurate valve timing, engine noise, or performance loss. Installing a new OE Match timing chain helps maintain precise engine timing, ensures smooth operation of the valve train and protects critical engine components from premature wear.
Consider replacing the timing chain when:
• Performing a major engine rebuild
• Servicing the timing system or chain tensioners
• Experiencing timing chain noise or rattle
• High-mileage engine maintenance

This product supersedes Porsche's old part numbers:

Common issues or symptoms:
Rough idle / misfires: Faulty actuator disrupts precise valve timing, leading to uneven idling or misfires.
Reduced engine performance: Loss of power or hesitation at certain RPMs can be linked to improper camshaft adjustment Check Engine Light (CEL), often triggered when the engine control unit (ECU) detects misalignment or malfunction in camshaft timing - very common with actuator failure.
Faulty actuator disrupts precise valve timing, leading to uneven idling or misfires Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs): Codes like P0010, P0011, P0012, P0013, P0014 often point to camshaft actuator or timing issues. They indicate conditions such as stuck timing advance/retard, or electrical faults in the actuator circuit Failure Causes: Oil contamination or sludge can clog the actuator, impairing function. Electrical problems such as wiring degradation or poor connector contact can impede correct activation
Diagnostic & repair advice check oil quality and change intervals - fresh, clean oil helps prevent buildup that hampers actuator performance scan for and interpret fault codes using an OBD-II scanner to pinpoint actuator failure or control circuit issues Inspect connectors and wiring for corrosion or looseness Replace defective solenoid(s) with OEM or high-quality equivalents if internal stick or mechanical failure is suspected.
