SKF VKML92021A Engine Timing Chain Kit

Engine Timing Chain Kit Overview

SKF VKML92021A is an engine timing chain kit built around OE system recommendations for component replacement. It brings together the chain, guides, tensioners, and sprockets needed for a complete timing service on supported Nissan and Suzuki applications.

The inverted tooth chain design, timing marks, and included guides and tensioners help maintain accurate chain-to-sprocket engagement under load. SKF VKML92021A is a fitment-based solution for timing service on the Nissan Frontier, Nissan Xterra, Nissan Pathfinder, Nissan NV series, and Suzuki Equator.

Key Features

• Engine timing chain kit with OE-style component grouping
• Inverted tooth (silent) chain design for smoother chain engagement
• Timing marks included for alignment during service
• Chain guides, tensioner, and sprockets included in the kit design
• SKF VKML92021A engineered for supported Nissan and Suzuki timing applications

Detailed Description

SKF VKML92021A is assembled as a complete timing chain service kit rather than a mix of unrelated parts. The chain length, guide set, tensioner, crankshaft sprocket, and camshaft sprockets are matched to work together as a system, which is important in timing repairs where component mismatch can affect chain tracking and sprocket engagement. The inverted tooth chain type is used to reduce friction and maintain consistent operation across the timing drive.

This kit cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 13021-7Y000, 13024-7Y000) for the same application. It fits 2005-2019 Nissan Frontier, N/A; fits 2012-2019 Nissan NV1500, N/A; fits 2012-2019 Nissan NV2500, N/A; fits 2012-2019 Nissan NV3500, N/A; fits 2005-2015 Nissan Xterra, N/A; fits 2005-2012 Nissan Pathfinder, N/A; fits 2009-2012 Suzuki Equator, N/A. Part number VKML92021A is also useful when matching timing service parts by reference during catalog lookup.

What It Helps Address

• Timing chain stretch or wear
• Noise from worn guides or tensioners
• Chain-to-sprocket engagement issues
• Timing alignment concerns during engine service
• Mixed-component timing repairs that need a matched kit

Installation Notes

Use the timing marks during installation and verify alignment before engine start-up. Because timing components work as a matched system, replace related wear parts together rather than combining parts from different sources. Confirm vehicle application by year, make, and model before ordering VKML92021A.

Quality Assurance

SKF assembles this kit to OE system recommendations for timing chain replacement. The matched component layout is intended to support consistent operation and reduce the risk of improvised timing repairs.
