In the late 1960s, the Cloyes engineering team saw the surging popularity of the weekend racer and set out to develop products to service the race crowd. In 1970, the engineering team developed and marketed the very first TRUE® Roller Speed set. With its balanced and multi-keyway sprockets, hand-matched with a new chain featuring solid bushing type rollers, the TRUE® Roller set was designed for racing and changed the timing game forever. In a 1972 letter, Junior Johnson attributes the new Cloyes TRUE® Roller set to aiding in their win at Atlanta (with Bobby Allison driving). The duo won 10 races that year and the Cloyes name soon became known for the best racing timing set in the United States.

For the second consecutive year, Cloyes is the number one choice of timing products for professional technicians and engine builders

FORT SMITH, Ark., January 28, 2020 – In a recent survey of Engine Builder magazine readers, Cloyes Gear and Products was found to be the most recognizable brand in the timing components category. Forty-eight percent of the nearly 5,000 Engine Builder readers surveyed responded with ‘Cloyes’ as their first answer when asked to name the top three brands of timing components they most often buy. The second closest brand registered only 17 percent of first mentions.

“For the second consecutive year, this survey tells us that Cloyes maintains its position as the number one choice of timing products for professional technicians and engine builders,” said Brian Wheeler, vice president of business development and marketing for Cloyes. “This survey confirms that the industry has a firm belief in the ability and strength of our products and our people.”

Fifty-seven percent of respondents also stated the primary reason for choosing a timing components brand was the brand’s reputation for quality, while 31 percent stated experience with the product led to purchases of a brand’s timing components.

“Quality and experience with a product are welcomed responses as to why engine builders and professional technicians purchase timing components,” added Wheeler. “Cloyes is built upon nearly a century of engineering and manufacturing expertise. As our brand messaging states, reliability creates credibility, and Cloyes’ products and people are certainly reliable.”

Intensive in-house processes and auditing allows the company to attain this quality-focused status

FORT SMITH, Ark., January 14, 2020 – Cloyes Gear and Products today announced that it achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification for its manufacturing plant in Paris, Ark., USA. Based in Fort Smith, Ark., Cloyes is the North American leader and a global designer, developer, manufacturer, and distributor of timing drive systems and components for original equipment manufacturers and the automotive aftermarket.

ISO 9001 is the international standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system (QMS). Organizations use the standard to demonstrate the ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements. It is the most popular standard in the ISO 9000 series and the only standard in the series to which organizations can certify.

“For nearly a century, Cloyes has been building its business and reputation by offering the highest quality timing systems and components,” said Steve Fairbanks, vice president of manufacturing for Cloyes. “After regaining ownership of the Paris plant in October, this is an important milestone for Cloyes. The ISO 9001:2015 certification demonstrates our rigorous quality standards and commitment to continuously improve our business processes.”

​The 155,000-square-foot manufacturing plant manufactures highly machined powertrain gears, sprockets, and idler assemblies for automotive original equipment manufacturers, the automotive aftermarket, marine, and high-performance applications. The plant’s key processes include machining, hobbing and shaping, heat treatment, and finishing, and is also home to a quality and metrology laboratory that supports both manufacturing and engineering product development.

“With a deep-seated commitment to customer success, Cloyes drives innovation and manufactures products that enhance engine performance and provide peace of mind to drivers,” said John Bohenick, chief executive officer for Cloyes. “The industry has a firm belief in the ability and strength of our products and our people, and that is reiterated with the completion of the ISO 9001:2015 external audit.”

FORT SMITH, Ark., June 18, 2019 – With focus on increased coverage and continued service to its customers, Cloyes Gear and Products today announced the release of timing chain water pump kits.

Designed for the replacement of worn or damaged timing chains, tensioners, sprockets, guides, and water pumps, Cloyes timing chain water pump kits provide professional technicians and do-it-yourself customers with a complete repair solution.

“The addition of chain-driven water pumps to our timing chain kits is a natural next step for Cloyes,” said Jason Thompson, vice president of engineering and product development for Cloyes. “With water pumps failing more frequently than timing chains, we’re now giving our customers the opportunity to replace these components concurrently, which can reduce comebacks and additional labor fees for the consumer.”

Timing chain-driven water pumps should always be replaced at the same time as the timing chain to reduce warranties, customer comebacks, and preserve long-term system performance. Water pump replacement rates are nearly eight times higher than timing chain replacement rates, according to the Auto Care Association. Replacement rates reflect the percent of cars that had a relevant part replaced or service performed during a sample year.

The first two timing chain water pump kits from Cloyes are for General Motors (GM) 2.0, 2.2, and 2.4-liter Ecotec engines and cover nearly 4 million vehicles in operation in North America. In 2019, Cloyes will complete development of additional timing chain water pump kits for a wide range of popular applications in the North American market.

(Clinton, MO / 04.02.20) Champion Oil, a recognized leader in racing and performance lubricants, says things are all still ago for the Champion Racing Oil / Williams Grove Summer Nationals Open sanctioned by the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series on July 24-25 in Mechanicsburg, Pa.

Our TCT is the turbo that really starts setting you apart from the rest. TCT stands for Triple Compression Technology. Our Patented compressor wheel covers more surface area than any other on the market allowing it to spool much faster allowing you to make power sooner. The TCT has two different center sections. All of our small frame TCTs are built with a cast center section but when you step it up to the Mid frame it comes with a journal bearing billet center section. The large frame comes with a billet ball bearing center section. The Mid and Large frame TCT comes with the new ORB fitting to allow for a better seal. Keep reading to see what our customers have to say about the TCT.

The NLX is equipped with the best of what we have from the cover down to the bearings. All NLX turbos come with a billet center section and True Dual Ball Bearings. The True Dual Ball Bearing billet cartridge comes with front and rear full angular contact ceramic ball bearings and provide a very smooth and effortless spool for the nasty NLX billet wheel. The NLX wheel is a patented designed wheel providing the largest surface area coverage from any turbo on the market. All NLX series turbos come with ORB feed line fittings and a billet O-ring drain fitting. The NLX also comes with a tunable race cover to meet your class needs. Year after year we have customers set records and go faster and faster! Read on to see the success from our customers running the NLX.

A map width enhancement groove is a pathway between the front of a compressor cover and a slot on the inside of the bore, well behind the leading edge of the compressor wheel. A map width enhancement groove is and was designed to prevent compressor surge period. The Patented Tunable race cover we offer allows that groove to be adjusted to suit a particular engines VE, there is no cheating power gain on our design, but simply a way to keep an application out of surge and a way to move power from the front of an engines power band to the rear. A map width enhancement groove is to prevent surge and they come standard between 200 and 250 thousands, if you have an engine that the VE is on left field on and the turbo surges, adjusting the map width groove allows you to take it out of surge therefore making say a 6 cylinder and a 440 ci engine perform similar. On a single 76mm with a 3rd party testing they were able to also move 45 or 50 hp from the front of the power band to the rear, so this is a nice tuning option as some engines have lousy bottom end and need more power to get moving, some have way too much low end and we can see the benefit of moving that power to the top end where traction is better.
