Bopowo 3.5L/3.7L V6 Timing Chain Kit with Water Pump & Tool Kit — Ford fit, OE-style durability

Bopowo's 3.5L/3.7L V6 Timing Chain Kit with Water Pump & Tool Kit is a complete OEM-style replacement designed to restore proper valve timing and cooling for compatible Ford 3.5L and 3.7L V6 engines.

This all-in-one solution bundles upper and lower timing chains, sprockets, tensioners, guide rails, a double-row crank sprocket and a replacement water pump with gasket, plus a purpose-built timing tool set. The components mirror OE specifications and use heat-treated steel chains and corrosion-resistant water pump internals to match factory durability while simplifying installation with included camshaft holding and tensioner tools.

Which Ford models and engine codes will this kit fit?

This kit is engineered for a range of Ford V6 gasoline engines and Police Interceptor variants. It lists direct compatibility with specific model years and includes common OEM reference numbers so you can confirm fitment against your vehicle’s stamped part numbers.

• 2011–2012 F-150 3.7L V6; 2015–2017 F-150 3.5L V6
• Edge 2011–2016 (3.5L/3.7L), Explorer 2011–2017 (3.5L)
• Taurus 2013–2019 (3.5L); Mustang 2011–2017 (3.7L)
• Police/Transit/Lincoln matches: Flex, Transit-150, Police Interceptor Sedan/Utility, Lincoln MKT per listed years
• Reference numbers: BL3Z-6268-A, AT4Z-6268-A, 303-1248, 303-1530

How does the included water pump and materials affect long-term reliability?

The water pump in this kit is supplied with a gasket and uses corrosion-resistant impeller materials plus reinforced seals to minimize leak risk. Timing chain components are made from heat-treated, high-strength steel alloys built to resist elongation and wear under normal service conditions.

• Water pump: corrosion-resistant impeller and reinforced seals
• Chains: heat-treated steel to reduce stretch
• Sprockets and tensioners: OEM-grade fit and hardened surfaces
• Comprehensive kit reduces mismatched replacement risk

What tools are included and how do they simplify installation?

The package includes specialized timing alignment and camshaft holding tools sized for these Ford V6 engines, plus a chain tensioner hold-down tool and an RT11 bolt removal socket. These tools secure camshafts and tensioners during removal and reassembly, helping maintain correct timing and reducing the chance of installation errors.

• Two camshaft holding tools (567618) for accurate cam positioning
• Chain tensioner hold-down tool (567619) to lock tensioners safely
• RT11 bolt removal socket and carry case for organized storage

What exact parts are packed in the box so I can verify before installation?

The kit lists each timing and drive component so mechanics can cross-check parts during pre-install prep. A full inventory prevents mid-job interruptions and ensures all wear-prone items are replaced together.

• Timing: 1 lower chain (254 links), 2 upper chains, crank and cam sprockets with bolts
• Tensioners: primary lower tensioner, two upper (left and right)
• Guide rails: multiple fixed and tensioner rails (left/right, long and short)
• Water pump with gasket; double-row crank sprocket
• Timing tool set: cam holding tools, tensioner hold-down, RT11 socket, carry case

Who this kit is for: Professional mechanics, experienced DIYers and fleet maintenance teams who service Ford 3.5L and 3.7L V6 engines and want a single, OEM-style replacement package that includes both the timing system and cooling pump. Check your vehicle’s engine code and part numbers (e.g., BL3Z-6268-A) before ordering to guarantee compatibility. Bopowo also provides a 24-month shop warranty for added confidence in parts and workmanship longevity.
