Keep the intake camshaft timing responding correctly with the Standard Ignition Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Sprocket VVT655, cataloged for the intake (right) camshaft position. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including the 2013-2019 Ford Explorer, 2011-2019 Ford Taurus, 2011-2019 Ford Flex, and 2011-2015 Lincoln MKS — all with the V6-3.5L, plus V6-3.7L Lincoln models — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Signs the original VVT sprocket / cam phaser may need replacing include VVT-related trouble codes, a rattle from the front of the engine on start-up, and rough or erratic idle. Because these symptoms can have other causes, diagnose the source before replacing, and if a failed intake VVT sprocket is confirmed, this unit replaces it. Confirm fitment for your vehicle using the Buyer's Guide.
