The kit is organized to replace the timing chains, guides, tensioners, crankshaft sprocket, and camshaft sprockets together, which helps maintain proper chain engagement and consistent valve timing. Using matched components from one kit avoids mixing parts from different sources during engine service. This part number, VKML72006A, is listed for Ford Flex, Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS, Lincoln MKT, Lincoln MKZ, Mazda 6, Mazda CX-9, Ford Edge, Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKX, Ford Taurus X, and Mercury Sable applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis part cross-references 7T4Z6256A for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat It Is Used For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacing worn timing chains that can create slack or noise.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestoring chain tension when tensioners no longer maintain proper load.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddressing worn guides that can increase friction and chain wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacing sprockets with tooth wear that affects timing accuracy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrecting timing service issues on supported Ford, Lincoln, Mazda, and Mercury engines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify engine code and application details before installation, since timing components must match the exact engine configuration. Follow OE timing procedures, align the timing marks carefully, and replace the full kit as a system rather than mixing new and used timing components.
