2012 Ford Flex Timing Cam Gears

The variable valve timing (VVT) system allows the engine control module (ECM) to regulate the intake and exhaust valve phase angle providing the most optimal engine volumetric efficiency under all engine operating condition to control tailpipe emissions and engine efficiency. Variable valve timing is an emission control device and although there are various methods of operation, the typical device is regulated by oil control valves, actuator solenoids and camshaft phasers.

Along with the timing chain, tensioners, And guides, sprockets are an integral component within the timing system. Cloyes timing gears And sprockets are available as part of complete timing kits as well as for individual purchase And installation. Featuring helical tooth form for quiet operation, And precision-machined bore for true fit, Cloyes Timing Sprockets offer reliability And dependability for engine rebuilds And typical replacement jobs. Cloyes parts are CAD designed And manufactured using advanced materials. Each part is extensively tested for function And durability to ensure optimal performance. Cloyes recommends the chain tensioner(s), sprocket(s), And guide(s) also be replaced when the chain is replaced as these components play a vital role in supporting the chain And keeping it tight.
