NISSAN 13028-VC200 Camshaft Timing Chain

The genuine Nissan camshaft timing chain (CHAIN CAM SHAFT), part number 13028-VC200, is a critical component of the engine valvetrain system that ensures precise mechanical connection and synchronization between the engine crankshaft and camshafts. The timing chain is directly responsible for opening and closing the intake and exhaust valves at millisecond precision according to the engine timing cycle. OEM-grade manufacturing technology guarantees high wear resistance, minimal elongation, and quiet operation even under severe operating conditions.

Technical Specifications:

• Product Type: Camshaft Timing Chain
• Manufacturer: Nissan (Genuine OEM part)
• Part Number: 13028-VC200
• Engine Applications: Nissan TB48E, TB48DE (4.8L inline-six petrol engines)
• Material: High-strength, specially hardened and wear-resistant alloy steel for long-lasting durability
• Function: Synchronized drive between the crankshaft and camshafts

Symptoms of Wear and Importance of Replacement:

Natural wear or stretching of the timing chain due to insufficient lubrication can cause engine timing to drift. Typical failure symptoms include a rattling or clattering mechanical noise from behind the timing cover during cold starts or at normal operating temperature, rough engine idle, loss of power, and camshaft/crankshaft correlation diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) stored in the engine control unit (ECU). Neglecting to replace a stretched or worn chain can result in chain jumping and catastrophic internal engine damage caused by valve-to-piston contact.
