Product Details

INA timing chain kits are assembled to cover the essential parts involved in a timing chain repair. This kit is built around the timing chain, tensioner, and guide components required for service on select Ford Explorer, Ford Ranger, Ford Aerostar, and Mazda B4000 vehicles. In applications where timing chain wear has affected engine synchronization, replacing the worn components with a complete timing set helps restore proper camshaft and crankshaft timing. The ZC-9-4172SA part number is also referenced as INA Global Number 559 1243 100.

This part cross-references 5591243100 for the same application.

What This Timing Set Helps Address

• Timing chain noise from worn guides or tensioner wear
• Engine timing drift caused by stretched chain components
• Rattle on startup related to chain tension loss
• Irregular valve timing from degraded timing hardware
• Service replacement for high-mileage Ford Explorer, Ford Ranger, Ford Aerostar, and Mazda B4000 timing systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code and timing cover configuration before installation. Inspect related timing components and sealing surfaces during service, and follow the manufacturer’s timing alignment procedure closely. Because this kit does not include gaskets or a drive sprocket, confirm whether those parts need to be sourced separately for the repair.

Quality Assurance

INA timing chain kits are engineered as premium repair components for timing system service. The included chain additive is formulated for Schaeffler by Liqui Moly and is used to reduce friction during break-in and lower run-in wear during the initial service period.
