ABSTRACT:
A chain guide includes a bracket adapted for being secured to an engine. The bracket includes a support surface including a leading end and a trailing end, and further includes a first saw-tooth fixing element. A guide shoe includes: (i) a shoe leading end; (ii) a shoe trailing end spaced from the shoe leading end in a chain movement direction; (iii) a chain guide surface extending between the shoe leading end and the shoe trailing end and adapted for slidably supporting an associated chain moving in the chain movement direction; and, (iv) an inner surface positioned adjacent the support surface of the bracket. The guide shoe further includes a second saw-tooth fixing element that mates with the first saw-tooth fixing element of the bracket to inhibit disconnection of said the guide shoe and the bracket.
