Edelbrock Timing Chain And Gear Set Ford 352-428

This Edelbrock Performer-Link timing chain and gear set includes the timing chain, cam sprocket, and crank sprocket. It's designed for Ford 352 to 428 cubic inch FE engines, fitting a wide range of vehicles from the 1960s and early 70s, like the Ford F-100 or Mercury Cougar. This set is crucial for ensuring your camshaft and crankshaft are perfectly synchronized, which is essential for proper engine operation and performance.

The Performer-Link chain uses a solid bushing design, which acts as a true bearing surface that rolls with the sprockets. This construction helps to prevent chain stretch over time, maintaining accurate timing. The cam sprockets are made from 35,000 psi tensile strength cast iron, while the crank sprockets are crafted from billet SAE-1144 steel that's induction heat treated for durability. This set offers three keyway setting points, allowing for precise timing adjustments to suit early or late-model applications within its fitment range.

Keep in mind that this timing set is not intended for use above 6500 RPM. Proper installation is key; avoid hammering directly on the chain or sprockets, as this can cause damage. If hammering is needed for sprocket installation, use a sleeve or a brass drift punch, alternating blows carefully to prevent cocking. Always check for clearance between the timing chain, the engine block, and the front cover before reassembly to ensure a smooth operation.
