Because the factory water pump is driven directly by the primary timing chain inside the front cover, bearing failure dumps engine coolant directly into the crankcase. This contaminates engine oil, washes rod bearings, and induces hydraulic primary tensioner collapse, resulting in jumped teeth, erratic camshaft position correlation codes (P0016\/P0017), and catastrophic valvetrain interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis comprehensive overhaul kit features high-tensile alloy steel link-plate chains with shot-peened pins engineered to resist cyclic shear stretch. Wear-resistant nylon-66 composite guide rails replace brittle factory plastic to eliminate chain deflection and damp lash resonance. Including replacement exhaust cam sprockets, a 23-tooth crank sprocket, and a high-flow internal water pump with reinforced shaft seals, this package eliminates the risk of cross-contamination and restores factory timing tolerances under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Primary Timing Chain (202 links)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 Secondary Timing Chains (upper)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 Cam Sprockets with bolts (25 teeth - exhaust)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Crank Sprocket (23 teeth)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Guide Rail (left - fixed - long)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Guide Rail (left - fixed - short)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Guide Rail (right - fixed - short)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Guide Rail (right - tensioner rail)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Primary Tensioner\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Tensioner (upper - left)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Tensioner (upper - right)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Water Pump with gasket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px; min-width: 300px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e2008-2010 Ford Taurus\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eDuratec 35 \/ EcoBoost 3.5L (Cyclone) \/ D3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e263–365 hp \/ 249–350 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e7T4Z-6K254-BA, 7T4Z-6K254-AA, BA5Z-6L266-B, BA5Z-6K255-A, AT4Z-6306-A, 7T4Z-6256-A, 7T4Z-6268-CA, AT4Z-6268-C, BA5Z-6B274-A, AT4Z-6K297-A, AT4Z-6K297-B\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTaurus 3.5L V6 DOHC 24-Valve VIN W — 2008-2010\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTaurus 3.5L V6 DOHC 24-Valve Turbocharged VIN T — 2010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u0026amp; Fitment Warnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the D3 Taurus?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 2008-2010 Ford Taurus equipped with the naturally aspirated Duratec 35 or turbocharged 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy must the water pump be replaced during this procedure?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe water pump is internally driven by the primary timing chain, meaning front timing cover removal is mandatory for access; replacing it prevents catastrophic coolant intrusion into the engine oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Ford Valvetrain Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered to withstand the demanding thermal and rotational loads of Ford's DOHC V6 platforms, this complete service kit delivers mechanical stability and valvetrain synchronization you can rely on for long-haul durability.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68058763165944,"sku":"DS-EH609SXFJ","price":148.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/performance-timing-chain-kit-for-ford-taurus-2008-2010-3-5l-1.jpg?v=1794362890","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/de\/products\/performance-timing-chain-kit-for-ford-taurus-2008-2010-3-5l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
