SKF VKML92036NA Engine Timing Chain Kit

Engine Timing Chain Kit Overview

SKF VKML92036NA is an engine timing chain kit built around OE-style component replacement for the timing system. It includes the chain, balance shaft chain, tensioners, guides, and sprockets needed for a complete timing service on select Nissan applications.

Key Features

• Inverted tooth, silent timing chain design for smooth operation.
• Timing marks included for accurate alignment during service.
• Chain guides and tensioners included for a complete timing system repair.
• Sprockets included to match the chain and maintain proper engagement.
• Engineered as a coordinated kit to reduce friction and chain-to-sprocket slippage.

Detailed Description

The SKF VKML92036NA timing chain kit is assembled to support long service life by keeping the timing components matched as a system. SKF emphasizes OE system recommendations for replacing timing chain components together rather than mixing parts from different sources, which helps maintain proper chain stretch, sprocket engagement, and overall timing accuracy. This kit is a fitment-based solution for 2010-2013 Nissan Altima and 2010-2013 Nissan Rogue applications, and it is also referenced by part number VKML92036NA for ordering and catalog lookup.

This part cross-references Nissan 13021-4JM0A and 13021-EA000 for the same application.

Common Issues This Kit Addresses

• Timing chain noise from worn chain components.
• Incorrect camshaft or crankshaft timing from stretched or mismatched parts.
• Chain slack caused by a weak tensioner or worn guides.
• Premature wear from friction between the chain and related components.
• Service problems when timing parts are replaced individually instead of as a matched set.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine application before installation and follow OE timing procedures closely. Use the timing marks during assembly, confirm sprocket alignment, and inspect all related timing components before reassembly. Because this kit is built as a system, proper installation depends on accurate positioning of the chain, guides, tensioners, and sprockets.

Quality Assurance

SKF timing chain kits are assembled as coordinated component sets to support consistent operation and long operating life. The VKML92036NA follows OE-style replacement guidance for timing system service and is built to maintain proper chain engagement under load.
