Gates Engine Timing Chain Kit P/N:CHK172
Keep the crankshaft and camshaft precisely in time with the Gates Engine Timing Chain Kit CHK102. The timing chain drive links the crankshaft and camshaft so the valves open and close in step with the pistons; this kit is a direct-fit replacement for the listed Ford and Mercury applications when the original timing drive is worn or noisy.
Signs the timing chain may need replacing: a rattle or slap from the front of the engine on start-up or at idle, or a timing-related fault code — diagnose the cause before replacing, since these symptoms can have other sources.
Fitment: 2005-2010 Ford Mustang; 2006-2010 Ford Explorer; 2006-2010 Mercury Mountaineer; 2007-2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac; 2009-2010 Ford F-150; 2009 Ford F-250; 2009-2014 Ford E-150; 2009-2014 Ford E-250; 2010-2014 Ford Econoline Van; 2010-2014 Ford Econoline Wagon.
