Replacement Captured Needle Bearing Plate

The Replacement Captured Needle Bearing Plate (MPN 9-220) is an essential component specifically designed for timing chain tensioning systems in various engine applications. This OEM-specification part is crucial for restoring proper bearing support and needle roller alignment within the timing chain assembly, ensuring efficient power transmission from the crankshaft to the camshaft.

Engineered to operate under extreme pressure and high rotational speeds, this precision-machined bearing plate minimizes lateral play and evenly distributes loads across needle roller surfaces. Its compact dimensions of 4.7 x 1.8 x 4.75 inches and lightweight construction of 0.17 lbs facilitate seamless integration into existing timing cover assemblies without requiring modifications.

Professional mechanics and automotive enthusiasts rely on this bearing plate for rebuilding timing systems, particularly when addressing chain rattle or worn tensioner components. Proper installation is critical for maintaining chain tension control, reducing noise and vibration, and extending the service life of the valve train in both performance and stock engine builds.
