Schaeffler and Liqui Moly Combine to Develop an Additive to Reduce Chain Wear

Schaeffler (UK) has forged an exclusive partnership with oil and additive supplier, Liqui Moly, by offering an additive with every INA Timing Chain KIT.

To offer this exclusive protection, Schaeffler and Liqui Moly engineers worked closely together whilst developing ‘Chain Protect’, an additive which will, not only help the efficiency of the engine, but also help ensure the longevity of the timing chain and its associated components.

Tips for replacement
During the installation of an INA timing chain KIT, a technician should apply ‘Chain Protect’ to the timing chain and associated components to help create a robust layer on all ‘point of contact’ surfaces, resulting in smoother chain function and reduced friction.

The crucial element of any timing chain replacement is the ‘breaking-in’ phase, when the new chain beds itself in to the old engine system. Using ‘Chain Protect’ can help ease wear during this phase by up to 20%.

It is not just the application of an additive that is essential; other steps must be taken to ensure that all components achieve their maximum possible service life, including the use of the correct specification vehicle manufacturer-approved oils.

INA Timing Chain KITs include all of the OE components required for a professional system replacement: timing chains, chain sprockets, hydraulic and mechanical chain tensioners, as well as tensioning and guide rails, the appropriate gaskets and all mounting parts.
