The 2.7L, 3.6L, 5.7L, 6.1L and 6.4L Chrysler 300 engines have a timing chain and interference engine.
The 3.5L Chrysler 300 engine has a timing belt and interference engine.
Scroll down to see detailed timing belt data for your particular model year of the Chrysler 300.
Year | Engine | Belt Or Chain | Interference or Non-Interference |
---|---|---|---|
2005 to 2023 | 2.7L, 3.6L, 5.7L, 6.1L, 6.4L | timing chain | interference |
2005 to 2010 | 3.5L | timing belt | interference |
The primary purpose of the timing belt or timing chain is to maintain the timing (syncronization) between the crankshaft and the camshaft(s).
A timing belt is made of a rubber compound while a timing chain is made of chain similiar to a bicycle chain.
A timing belt wears out over time and must be replaced at the manufacturer's specified interval. Timing belt failure can result in serious engine damage.
Although a timing chain will wear over time it is usually good for the lifetime of the engine but it should be routinely inspected.
Note: Replacement intervals are broad recommendations and can be affected by age, weather conditions, running conditions etc. Check with the owner's manual/ manufacturer/ dealership.
Check out the Belt Or Chain specifications for other makes and models.
