Over heat cycles, the factory water pump mechanical seal degrades, leaking coolant directly into the crankcase oil, causing rapid rod bearing wash and catastrophic engine failure. Simultaneously, standard link elongation (\"chain stretch\") on the 202-link primary drive exceeds factory hydraulic tensioner stroke, leading to camshaft timing correlation diagnostic trouble codes (P0016, P0017), valvetrain clatter, and fractured nylon guide rails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis comprehensive service assembly resolves both critical failure points in a single teardown. Manufactured using high-tensile, shot-peened alloy steel links, the primary and secondary chains resist tensile stretch under both naturally aspirated and twin-turbocharged EcoBoost load cycles. The included replacement water pump features upgraded internal seals and precision-bearing architecture. Heat-stabilized composite guide rails paired with fresh primary and secondary hydraulic tensioners restore dampening authority, maintaining dynamic chain tension across the entire powerband.\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;\"\u003e2009-2010 Lincoln MKS\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;\"\u003e3.5L EcoBoost \/ 3.7L Duratec 37 (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;\"\u003e273–355 hp \/ 270–350 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\u003e2009-2010 Lincoln MKS 3.7L V6 DOHC 24-Valve (VIN R)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2010 Lincoln MKS 3.5L V6 DOHC 24-Valve Turbocharged (VIN T)\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 MKS?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 2009-2010 Lincoln MKS equipped with the 3.5L EcoBoost or 3.7L Cyclone V6 engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy is the water pump included in this timing kit?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe water pump on the Ford Cyclone V6 is driven internally by the primary timing chain, making simultaneous replacement essential to prevent future labor redundancy and coolant contamination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Lincoln Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreserve executive-class drivetrain refinement and avoid catastrophic valvetrain interference.
