SKF VKML91036NA Engine Timing Chain Kit

Overview

SKF VKML91036NA is an engine timing chain kit built for OE-style component replacement in the valve train. It is engineered as a complete timing set solution for Lexus and Toyota applications where chain stretch, sprocket wear, or guide and tensioner service are part of the repair.

Key Features

• Complete timing chain kit for engine valve train service
• Includes timing chains, tensioners, guides, crankshaft sprocket, and idler sprocket
• Designed to maintain proper chain stretch and reduce unnecessary friction
• Assembled to support correct chain-to-sprocket engagement and minimize slippage
• OE system-based replacement approach for timing chain service

Detailed Description

The SKF VKML91036NA timing chain kit is assembled to replace the timing chain system as a matched set rather than mixing components from different sources. SKF states that this approach helps preserve proper operating life and supports consistent engagement between the chain and sprockets. For Lexus ES350, RX350, IS250, RX450h and Toyota Avalon, Camry, Highlander, Sienna, Venza, RAV4, and GS300 applications, this kit provides the core parts needed for timing chain service in one package. The VKML91036NA part number is also referenced by 13024-CK80A, 13506-0P011, and 13506-31031 for the same application.

Common Repair Uses

• Timing chain stretch or noise
• Worn chain guides
• Weak or failing chain tensioners
• Sprocket wear in the timing drive system
• Valve timing service during engine repair

Installation Notes

Install as a complete timing system service and verify camshaft and crankshaft timing marks during assembly. Replace related wear components together when the engine is already open for timing service. Follow the vehicle service procedure for torque values, timing alignment, and final inspection before starting the engine.

Quality Assurance

SKF timing chain kits are assembled to follow OE system recommendations for timing chain replacement and component matching. The VKML91036NA is built for long operating life and consistent function across the included timing components.
