Cloyes 9-0398SD timing chain kit for the 1997-2010 Ford Explorer V6 4.0L and other vehicles links the crankshaft to the camshaft to keep valve timing accurate. Also called an engine timing chain kit, it gathers the chains, sprockets, tensioners and guides that make up the timing system.
- Chains are pre-stressed and heat-treated
- Precision pitch control for chain-to-sprocket fit, which reduces noise and fatigue and keeps timing accurate
- CAD-designed, heat-treated sprockets with precision-tooled tooth form, bore, off-set and timing index
- Tensioners can use spring tension or hydraulic pressure to keep the chain tensioned
- Chain guides give the chain a path and help keep the crankshaft and camshaft aligned
- Each part is tested for function, fitment and durability

A rattle from the front of the engine, rough running or a check-engine light can come from a stretched chain. A failing camshaft position sensor or an ignition fault can sit behind rough running and warning lights too, so find the cause before you buy. If the chain is the cause, replace the sprockets, tensioners and guides with it.
