SKF VKML92041NA Engine Timing Chain Kit

Engine Timing Chain Kit Overview

SKF VKML92041NA is an engine timing chain kit built for direct service replacement in supported Nissan and Suzuki applications. It is assembled as a complete timing system solution to help maintain proper chain-to-sprocket engagement and consistent engine timing.

Compatible With Nissan Frontier, Nissan Xterra, Nissan Pathfinder, Nissan NV1500, Nissan NV2500, Nissan NV3500, and Suzuki Equator applications across the listed model years.

Key Features

• Timing chain kit for engine valve train service
• Includes timing chains, tensioners, and guides
• OE system replacement approach for matched component service
• Engineered to reduce unnecessary friction between kit components
• Built for long operating life under heavy load conditions

Detailed Description

The SKF VKML92041NA timing chain kit is designed around complete component replacement rather than mixing parts from different sources. SKF assembles the chain, tensioners, and guides as a matched service package to support proper fit and function within the timing system. This approach is important when servicing Nissan Frontier, Nissan Xterra, and Nissan Pathfinder engines, where timing accuracy and stable chain operation are critical.

SKF states that the chain is set up to maintain the correct stretch characteristics for load handling and to help prevent slippage at the sprocket teeth. The kit follows OE system recommendations for timing chain service, making it a practical choice for engine repair work that calls for coordinated replacement of wear items. Part number VKML92041NA is also cross-referenced to 13028-EA200 and 13028-JK20B for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing worn timing chain components during engine service
• Restoring proper chain tension and guide control
• Addressing timing noise caused by worn chain system parts
• Correcting chain slack that can affect engine timing stability
• Servicing a complete timing system instead of isolated parts

Installation Notes and Tips

Install VKML92041NA as a complete timing system service and verify all related components before reassembly. Follow the vehicle service procedure for timing alignment, tensioner setup, and guide placement. Because timing components affect engine synchronization, careful indexing and inspection are essential during installation.

Quality Assurance

SKF timing chain kits are assembled to support long operating life and coordinated component function. The VKML92041NA kit follows OE system recommendations for timing chain replacement, including the chain, tensioners, and guides.
