FMBP 40202 Engine Timing Set

Performance Timing Set Overview

This Melling Performance timing set is built for engine rebuilds that need matched timing components and performance-oriented hardware. Part number 40202 includes a double roller chain, cast iron camshaft sprocket, and adjustable keyway setup for timing correction and tuning flexibility.

Compatible with a wide range of Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth applications, this timing set supports classic V8 rebuilds where precise chain and sprocket alignment matters. Part number 40202 is a practical choice for builders looking for a performance-grade timing chain kit with sprockets included.

Key Features

• Double roller timing chain for stable chain engagement
• Adjustable keyway design for timing advance or retard changes
• Cast iron camshaft sprocket for durable gear construction
• Performance grade for rebuild and upgrade applications
• Sprockets included for a complete timing component package

Detailed Description

Melling 40202 is a performance timing chain kit designed around a double roller chain and matched sprockets for engine service work. The adjustable keyway allows up to 2.0 degrees of advance or retard at the camshaft, giving builders a controlled way to fine-tune timing during assembly. The camshaft sprocket is cast iron, and the kit is positioned for applications that require a 6.125-inch center distance.

This timing set is used across many Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth engines, including Dodge Charger, Dodge Dart, and Plymouth Fury applications. If you are rebuilding a classic Mopar engine and need a performance timing set with adjustable timing capability, 40202 provides the component layout needed for that job. This part cross-references Cloyes High Performance (e.g., C-3028X) and Gates (e.g., 78104) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing worn timing chain and sprocket components
• Correcting timing variation during engine assembly
• Restoring camshaft-to-crankshaft synchronization
• Supporting performance rebuilds that need timing adjustment
• Addressing chain stretch, noise, or timing instability

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine application, center distance, and timing cover clearance before installation. Use the adjustable keyway only when timing correction is required, and confirm camshaft timing after assembly. Follow the engine builder’s service procedure for alignment and torque specifications.

Quality Assurance

Melling timing chain kits are manufactured with quality materials and workmanship for rebuild and service use. Part number 40202 is part of Melling’s Performance line, which offers standard, heavy-duty, and performance timing solutions for different service levels.
