1.6L Crankshaft Timing Chain Sprocket

Standard single-row crankshaft sprocket for the Ford 1600 Kent engine.

• The timing chain and sprockets wear together, and the sprocket teeth should be inspected every time the timing chain is replaced.
• Worn teeth can result in unpredictable cam timing, which also affects ignition timing.
• Severely worn teeth can also shorten the life of the timing chain.
• The sprocket should be removed from the crankshaft when the crank is sent to the machine shop for grinding.
