FAI understands how important keeping installers up-to-date with training and technical know-how is, so it has introduced a new video that offers comprehensive instruction on how to fit a new Timing Chain Kit. The video is introduced by Dominic Moxon, Senior Product Manager for this product portfolio at FAI.

Chains are becoming more popular with engine designers, as they allow for greater power and economy whilst minimising space, so it is a certainty that more cars that enter the aftermarket for repair will feature a Timing Chain.

FAI supplies every part that is needed for a complete repair, including gaskets, oil feed pipes and other ancillaries. Fitting a Timing Chain is a longer and more complex job than replacing a timing belt and there are a number of critical steps that must be observed in order to ensure that the Timing Chain has a long and trouble-free life.

This is a good opportunity for the aftermarket as the labour and parts are more expensive and hence justify a higher repair cost. However, unless the Timing Chain is expertly installed, the job can come back, with expensive implications for the installer.

You can see the video that shows full detail of the removal/refitting of a timing chain by clicking ‘Video Library’ at the top of the page and selecting the video or by visiting the Timing Chain Kit product page on this site.
