A-Premium VVT Solenoid Kit for Ford 4.6L/5.4L V8 — 2-PC Direct-Fit with Seals & Screws

The A-Premium 2-PC Variable Valve Timing (VVT) solenoid kit replaces worn timing control components to restore smooth VCT operation on compatible Ford, Lincoln and Mercury V8 engines.

This complete kit supplies two direct-fit VVT solenoids plus the mounting screws and camshaft seals needed for a clean, reliable install. Designed to match OE reference numbers and vehicle applications, the kit targets common fitments across Ford F-series trucks, Expeditions, Explorers, Mustangs, Lincoln Navigators and Mercury Mountaineers with 4.6L and 5.4L engines. Each part is intended to reduce the symptoms associated with failing solenoids—such as rough idle, poor fuel economy and check-engine lights—by restoring hydraulic control of cam phasing when installed correctly.

Which vehicles will this A-Premium VVT solenoid kit fit?

The kit covers many Ford-era V8 applications from the mid-2000s through the early 2010s. Check your vehicle’s year, engine size and OEM part numbers against the listed references to confirm compatibility before ordering.

• Ford F-150 (2009–2010 4.6L; 2004–2010 5.4L)
• Ford F-250/F-350 Super Duty (2005–2010 5.4L)
• Ford Expedition & Navigator (2005–2014 5.4L)
• Explorer, Explorer Sport Trac, Mustang, Lincoln Mark LT, Mercury Mountaineer with 4.6L/5.4L V8

What’s included in the kit and why each part matters?

This A-Premium kit contains the components typically needed for a VVT solenoid service to ensure the system is sealed and mounted correctly. Replacing the solenoids alone can leave old seals or fasteners compromised, so the complete set helps prevent leaks and repeat labor.

• 2 x VCT (VVT) solenoids — direct replacements for failed actuators
• 2 x mounting screws — OEM-style fasteners for secure installation
• 2 x camshaft seals — new seals to prevent oil leakage after service

How do I verify fitment by reference numbers and part cross-references?

Match the part numbers stamped on your original solenoid or consult the vehicle’s service manual to confirm interchangeability. The kit lists common OEM and aftermarket cross-reference numbers to simplify identification.

• Common references: 3L3Z-6M280-EA, 8L3Z-6M280-A/B
• Aftermarket/alternate numbers: 917-200, VVT101, L53001, VTS1004
• Use both VIN and engine displacement when checking compatibility

What should I expect during installation and routine checks?

Installation requires basic mechanical tools and moderate experience working with engine timing components and oil passages. Replace seals and screws during the procedure, torque fasteners to spec, and clear any stored fault codes after installation to confirm the repair resolved the issue.

• Disconnect battery and relieve any stored codes before starting
• Inspect oil passages and clean mating surfaces for a leak-free seal
• After install, run the engine and verify smooth idle and no VVT-related codes

Who this kit is for: Mechanics, DIY enthusiasts and fleet technicians servicing mid-2000s to early-2010s Ford, Lincoln and Mercury V8 vehicles who need a complete, cost-effective VVT solenoid replacement. Choose this kit when you want direct-fit solenoids plus the necessary screws and camshaft seals included to avoid additional purchases or repeat labor. Always confirm vehicle fitment with year, engine size and part number before installation.
