Febi supplies a variety of timing chains, timing belts, valves, seals and oil pumps within its engine range.
Many of the engine components can also be supplied as part of a kit, providing faster repair solutions for technicians.
Timing chains
Timing chains precisely control the opening and closing of the engine valves.
They require lubrication from the engine oil to operate efficiently, and connects the camshaft to the crankshaft.
Timing chains have a relatively long service life and are wear-resistant compared to other components.
Febi said: “It is vital that the timing chain is replaced at intervals recommended by the manufacturer, as failure can cause severe damage to the engine.”
Febi supplies over 200 timing chains, with some available as part of a kit including sprockets and chain tensioners.
Timing belts
Timing belts are an alternative drive to the timing chain and are the most popular drive in modern vehicle engines, connecting the camshaft to the crankshaft.
Febi said: “They are quiet, smooth, lightweight and don’t need lubrication.
“However, the belt is prone to snapping which can cause engine damage so it is vital that high quality parts are used.”
Febi supplies over 200 timing belts with over 20,000 applications for a variety of vehicle makes including Ford and Mercedes.
Camshaft
Driven by the crankshaft, the camshaft ensures valve operation is in time with the piston.
Drive is transmitted from the crankshaft to the camshaft via a timing chain or belt.
Febi supplies camshafts with over 4,000 applications for a variety of vehicle makes and models.
Oil pumps
Oil pumps circulate oil to all the necessary parts within an engine, providing lubrication to keep the system running smoothly.
A fault or failure can lead to severe damage, so it is important to replace the pump as soon as possible.
Febi offers a range of oil pumps with over 4,000 applications for a variety of vehicle models including Audi, Peugeot and Vauxhall.
Valves
Valves are operated by the camshaft and control the flow of gas, allowing the air and fuel mixture to swap with the burnt gases via inlet and outlet ports.
Valves have to deal with high temperatures and high levels of strain, so it is important to use the highest quality replacement parts to avoid premature wear.
Febi supplies a variety of different engine valves including EGR valves, exhaust valves, and inlet valves.
Oil seals and gaskets
Oil seals and gaskets seal against oil, air and water. Gaskets seal the join between two components’ faces and have to deal with very high temperatures.
Febi supply a variety of different seals and gaskets such as head gasket sets, camshaft seal rings and crankshaft seal rings.
