  Engine Timing Crankshaft Sprocket, Sprocket, Gear Crankshaft

• Description:

  This is the genuine Ford crankshaft timing gear, also called the crankshaft sprocket, for the 97-19 Modular V8 family, with an application list spanning the 4.6L in SOHC and DOHC two-valve and three-valve forms, the 5.4L, and the 6.8L. The gear presses onto the crankshaft snout and drives the timing chains that turn the camshafts, so it is a foundational timing component that must maintain precise tooth geometry to keep valve timing accurate and the chains running smoothly. A crankshaft gear that is worn, with rounded or damaged teeth, or that has spun on the snout, can cause chain noise, timing errors, misfires, and further valvetrain wear, so it is replaced during timing chain service or when inspection shows tooth wear. This genuine Ford gear is manufactured to the original specification for tooth profile, bore, and hardness, so it indexes correctly on the crank and meshes with the factory chains. Because this is an engine-internal driven component shared across the Modular V8 range, matching the correct part to your engine is important. During installation, inspect the crank snout and chains, install the gear in the proper orientation, and verify timing marks before completing the job. Confirm the application against your specific Modular V8 engine before ordering.
