SKF Automotive has expanded their range of Timing Chain Kits in North America for domestic and import passenger vehicles and light trucks. The line now includes more than 21,000 vehicle applications ranging from 1965 through 2024.

SKF timing chain kits come complete with all necessary components necessary for a complete engine timing chain replacement which includes chain(s), guides, tensioners, and sprockets. Where applicable, the kits come with oil jets, seals, fasteners, and gaskets.

SKF is exhibiting at AAPEX 2024 booth #A2826.

SKF Timing Chain Kits are designed and assembled in a way that all parts and components will functionally have a long operating life.

Chains are manufactured with high strength steel and heat treated to reduce abrasive wear and improve resistance to fatigue stress.

Hydraulic tensioners have been developed to provide optimal chain tension and vibration damping of the timing chain system.

Guides are manufactured with a high heat-resistant polyamide resulting in much better performance at high temperatures and excellent wear resistance.

Sprockets are manufactured and heat treated to harden contact surfaces with timing chains. Oil jets are designed to ensure adequate lubrication to the timing system. VVT components are designed to increase fuel efficiency, eliminate rough idling, and improve overall system performance.
