Cloyes Engine Timing Chain P/N:C512
Keep crankshaft and camshaft rotation in step with the Cloyes Timing Chain C391, a single-row, inverted-tooth steel chain built for precise chain-to-sprocket engagement. It is a direct-fit replacement for many Ford and Lincoln vehicles, among them the 1997-2010 Ford F-150, 1997-1999 Ford F-250 and 1997-2014 Ford Expedition with the V8-5.4L. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list, including V10-6.8L applications.
Cloyes has built timing systems since 1921. Its chains are designed to synchronize crankshaft and camshaft rotation for accurate valve timing. On the listed applications, this timing chain for the Ford 5.4L and 6.8L engines is cataloged in the center position, and those applications use two chains.
This is a stand-alone chain, and Cloyes also offers application-specific kits. For the whole timing system, Cloyes recommends replacing the chain together with the tensioners, guides and sprockets. The chain is covered by Cloyes' Limited Lifetime Warranty and technical support. Country of origin: China.
