• Description:

  Maintain precise valve timing and factory engine performance with the Genuine Ford Engine Timing Camshaft Sprocket (FR3Z-6256-C). Also known as a Camshaft Actuator, VCT Actuator, Variable Cam Timing Sprocket, or Camshaft Sprocket, this OEM Ford component is designed to control intake camshaft timing for improved engine performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions.

  The intake camshaft sprocket is a key part of Ford's Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT) system. Working with engine oil pressure and the engine control module, it advances or retards intake camshaft timing based on engine speed and load. Proper camshaft timing helps improve throttle response, optimize power delivery, increase fuel economy, and reduce exhaust emissions.

  A worn or malfunctioning camshaft actuator can contribute to Check Engine Light illumination, engine performance concerns, rough idle, rattling or timing noise during startup, reduced power, or camshaft timing diagnostic trouble codes. Replacing a worn actuator with a Genuine Ford OEM Camshaft Sprocket helps restore proper timing operation and factory engine performance.
