OEM Ford Part Numbers: F6AZ-6L266-CA & F6AZ-6L266-DA
Upgrade your Ford Modular V8 timing system with these genuine Ford OEM revised timing chain tensioners, supplied as a matched LH & RH pair.
These are the later steel body tensioners, designed by Ford to replace the earlier plastic-bodied units commonly known for wear, oil pressure loss, timing chain noise, and in severe cases, timing system failure.
Ideal for preventative maintenance, engine rebuilds, camshaft upgrades, or when servicing worn timing components.

Why Upgrade?
Early factory plastic tensioners can become brittle or lose sealing efficiency over time, leading to:
- Timing chain rattle on startup
- Chain slack or unstable cam timing
- Poor engine performance
- Increased risk of major timing system damage
Upgrading to the genuine Ford steel-body revision helps improve long-term reliability.
Important Notes
Professional installation recommended. Timing cover removal is required. We recommend inspecting timing guides, chains, cam phasers, and oil pump condition during installation.
