A guide for an engine timing chain comprises a metal supporting base and a resin shoe, the shoe having integrally formed hooks for attachment to the supporting base, and integrally formed side walls for limiting lateral movement of the chain on the sliding contact surface of the shoe. A central portion of the shoe has a sandwich injection molded structure and comprises a high strength core of glass fiber-reinforced polyamide resin, and a polyamide skin layer. The side walls and the hooks are formed entirely of the skin layer material.
