Detailed Description

Gates CHK104 is an engine timing chain kit for Ford and Lincoln trucks, vans, and SUVs that require a timing chain component replacement without VVT sprockets. It is a direct-fit timing service solution for applications such as the Ford E-150, E-250, E-350 Super Duty, F-150, F-250 Super Duty, F-350 Super Duty, Expedition, Excursion, Econoline, and Lincoln Navigator. This part number, CHK104, is also cross-referenced by Cloyes 9-0391SB and Dayco KTC1335 for the same application.

Built around steel chain and sprocket components, the kit is intended to restore timing system integrity where chain stretch, guide wear, or tensioner wear has affected engine operation. The silent chain design supports smooth timing drive operation, while the included guides and tensioner help complete the repair with matched components.

What It Helps Fix

• Timing chain noise from worn chain or guides
• Engine timing drift caused by chain stretch
• Rattle at startup related to tensioner wear
• Check engine concerns tied to timing correlation issues
• Rough running caused by worn timing drive components
