autoexact Timing Chain Kit for 2.0L Hyundai & Kia with VVT Sprockets — Fit 2017-2025, Hardened Steel & Nylon Guides

Autoexact 24350-2E700 is a complete timing chain kit with VVT intake and exhaust camshaft sprockets engineered to replace OEM 243212E010/24321-2E010 for 2.0L Hyundai and Kia engines.

This kit delivers the core components needed to service variable valve timing on 2.0L engines used in many Hyundai Elantra, Kona, Veloster and Kia Forte, Soul, and Seltos model years. Built from hardened steel and precision-molded nylon guide rails, the set is designed for direct fitment and silent-running operation. Components are factory-tested to meet dimensional tolerances and fatigue resistance so technicians and DIYers can restore correct timing and VVT function without sourcing parts separately.

Which vehicles and engines will this timing chain kit fit?

This kit fits 2.0L naturally aspirated and VVT-equipped engines found across several Hyundai and Kia model years. Confirm compatibility by matching the reference numbers or consulting the vehicle’s service manual before ordering.

• 2017–2020 Hyundai Elantra
• 2018–2021 Hyundai Kona; 2019–2021 Hyundai Veloster
• 2017–2024 Kia Forte; 2017–2018 Kia Forte5
• 2021–2025 Kia Seltos; 2020–2025 Kia Soul
• OEM cross-references: 243212E010, 243502E700, 243702E020, 244102E000

What components are included and why are they important?

The package supplies all the wear items required for a proper timing service or VVT repair, reducing the risk of misaligned or missing parts during reassembly. Each piece is matched for fit and function so the timing system runs smoothly after installation.

• Timing Tensioner ×1 — maintains correct chain tension for reliable timing
• Tensioner Arm ×1 — supports the tensioner and guides chain alignment
• Intake Camshaft Sprockets ×1 — VVT-compatible sprocket for intake timing
• Exhaust Camshaft Gear ×1 — exhaust timing sprocket designed to OEM specs
• Guide Rail ×1 — molded nylon rail to reduce noise and wear
• Timing Chain ×1 — precision-driven chain heat-treated for durability

How does the build quality and testing improve longevity?

Materials and inspection protocols aim to match or exceed factory standards so the repair lasts and operates quietly. Critical parts are manufactured from premium steel and engineered plastics, then subjected to performance checks that reveal early defects.

• Hardened steel sprockets and chain for wear resistance
• Imported nylon guide rail for low friction and noise reduction
• Tensioner airtightness and dimensional testing to ensure consistent pressure
• Chain fatigue testing to verify lifespan under repeated load

Can I install this kit myself, or should a shop handle it?

Installation requires mechanical experience, proper tools, and adherence to the vehicle’s torque and timing procedures. Professional installation is recommended if you lack timing-specific tools, but experienced DIYers who follow the service manual can complete the job.

• Requires camshaft locking tools and torque wrench for correct assembly
• Follow manufacturer torque specs and timing marks closely
• Replace related seals and gaskets as preventive maintenance

Who is this for: The Autoexact 24350-2E700 kit is aimed at mechanics, independent repair shops, and proficient DIYers who need a full timing chain and VVT sprocket replacement for 2.0L Hyundai and Kia engines. Choose this kit if you want a single-purchase solution that matches common OEM reference numbers and includes tested, vehicle-specific components to restore engine timing and quiet operation.
