A-Premium Engine Timing Chain Kit for Ford/Lincoln DOHC V6 3.5L & 3.7L — Complete Kit with Tensioner & Guides

The A-Premium Engine Timing Chain Kit with tensioner and guides is a complete OEM-spec replacement set designed to restore reliable timing and smooth valve operation on Ford/Lincoln DOHC V6 3.5L and 3.7L engines.

If your vehicle is in the compatible model range (Ford F-150, Explorer, Edge, Mustang, Transit, Police Interceptor, Lincoln MKS/MKX/MKZ and others for model years listed), this kit supplies the primary chains, guides, tensioner arms and sprockets required to return your engine’s timing system to factory-like condition. A-Premium builds the components to meet OEM dimensions and materials so installation aligns with manufacturer tolerances and performance expectations.

What does this timing chain kit include and why does each piece matter?

The kit bundles every major timing component you’ll need for a thorough replacement: center and upper chains, multiple guides (left/right/upper/lower), tensioner arms, tensioners and the crank sprocket. Replacing all interacting parts at once helps prevent premature failures caused by mismatched wear levels.

• Timing chains: center (C738F) and upper (9-4228) for accurate cam-crank synchronization.
• Guides: left lower, left upper, right upper and additional upper guides to control chain routing and reduce vibration.
• Tensioners & arms: right tensioner (9-5689), upper (9-5686) and tensioner arm (9-5697) to maintain proper chain tension.
• Crank sprocket S995: timed engagement and secure crank interface.

Which vehicles and engine types will this kit fit?

This kit is engineered for dual overhead cam (DOHC) V6 engines in the 3.5L and 3.7L families across many Ford and Lincoln vehicles. Always cross-check part reference numbers and year/model fitment before purchase to confirm compatibility with your VIN and engine code.

• Ford: F-150 (2011–2012, 2015–2016), Explorer (2011–2017), Edge (2011–2016), Flex (2013–2016), Mustang (2011–2017), Transit-series (2015–2017), Police Interceptor models.
• Lincoln: MKS (2013–2016), MKX (2011–2016), MKZ (2013–2016).
• Fits DOHC V6 3.5L and 3.7L engines; reference OEM numbers provided for verification.

How does installing a complete kit benefit my engine versus replacing a single part?

Timing systems degrade as a group: worn guides or weak tensioners will shorten chain life even after a new chain is installed. A full kit replacement aligns wear tolerances and lowers the risk of repeat repairs, saving time and money long term.

• Eliminates mismatched wear between new and old components.
• Reduces labor frequency—install once, replace all wear-prone parts together.
• Restores factory tensioning and routing for smoother valve timing control.

What durability and warranty assurances come with this A-Premium kit?

A-Premium manufactures this kit to OEM specifications using durable materials designed for anti-friction and stable performance. The kit is backed by a one-year unlimited-mileage guarantee against manufacturing defects, giving added assurance for street and fleet use.

• Constructed to OEM dimensions and materials for consistent fit and function.
• Engineered for transmission of torque, low friction and long service life.
• One-year unlimited-mileage warranty from A-Premium for confidence after installation.

Who is this for: Professional mechanics, DIY enthusiasts and fleet technicians who service Ford/Lincoln DOHC V6 3.5L/3.7L engines and want a comprehensive, OEM-spec replacement solution.
