Need some help.
I'm trying to find a timing chain set for my 97 cobra.
most of the places I've found are out of stock. Looks like you can get them from napa but the prices are much higher even with my discount thru the shop. Any one know where and what pieces I need to get. Car's at 140k and they are starting to make a little noise when cranked cold. Just want to do some preventive maint. I'd hate to see one or both snap and then it's a much bigger job and much more money. Just looked around on ebay, Will the MK8 98-00 set work? or is there something different them One set I did find said something about a updated fastener for the guides ( upper or lower )

Think I found a set from Toulsy ford.
The only part that won't work are the cam gears the rest should be o.k. Think I'll paint the valve covers the ford gt blue. Any one know the color name or where to get it?

I have a set of secondary chains I'll sell with low miles. They are more prone to breaking than the primary chains.

Those are the ones I'm worried about the most, Our 3.0l 4v motors in the 968 porsche have a similar setup and the secondary chain is the weak link on them also.
Found a whole set that I've ordered thu Tousley Ford. Thanks for the offer though.
