Ford 1.6L Kent Timing Chain, Stock Single-Row

Single row timing chain for the Ford 1.6L OHV Kent engine.

• If your Formula Ford 1600 engine is having a problem with inconsistent spark timing, consider replacing the timing chain!
• The timing chain is under a lot of stress, driving the camshaft (with high-strength valve springs), the distributor (through a scroll gear), the oil pump (through another scroll gear), the fuel pump, and sometimes a tach drive.
• The stock single-row chain (required by FF1600 rules) is just barely up to the task and should be replaced at every rebuild.
• This is the stock 46-link timing chain for the Ford 1600 Kent engine. It works with the original cam and crank sprockets, and is legal for all racing series.
• Part # FP215. Alternate part numbers are 161-50 and F5G.
