FAI offers timing chain kit installation advice

FAI Automotive has the largest range of VVT hubs in the aftermarket, manufactured in a sealed, controlled clean room to ensure precision engineering at OE level specification.

FAI’s TCKs contain the latest specification components for a long-lasting repair. Technicians must ensure that both the chain and VVT hubs are replaced and never mixed with existing componentry.

When replacing the VVT hub, FAI recommend that the oil control valve is replaced at the same time. The oil control valve is often overlooked during a chain kit installation. The valve plays a critical role in delivering oil to the VVT hub and by leaving a heavily used part in situ, it can starve the hub of oil.  

FAI’s chains undergo continuous 200-hour cycle testing, performed using contaminated oil to test the properties of the material durability and endurance. The components are then exposed to extremely hostile operating environments to force destruction. Detailed analysis is then provided to improve ongoing development.

Next, each element of FAI’s Timing Chain Kit (TCK) is subject to stringent inspection processes similar to OE quality control procedures. Then they are exposed to extreme hot and cold temperatures to determine any physical, chemical or operational weaknesses.

The company offers a market leading TCK range to cover the UK and European vehicle parc. FAI continuously develops and builds its ranges to continue to meet customer demand, providing over 550 references for technicians to choose from.
