★ Essential component for maintenance of the timing drive on the T214 engine. Sprocket has the correct tooth pitch for synchronous operation with the crankshaft sprocket.

Application

T214 engine (230 cubic inch / 3.77L flathead engine) as fitted to Dodge WC-series 3/4-ton vehicles and 6x6 variants from the Second World War.

Installation notes

Installation requires removal of the timing cover and correct alignment of the timing marks on camshaft and crankshaft. The camshaft sprocket has twice as many teeth as the crankshaft sprocket (2:1 ratio). Timing chain and both sprockets should preferably be replaced simultaneously.

Compatibility

Only for T214 engines with timing chain drive. NOT compatible with later engines using gear drive. T214 and T223 engines are technically identical regarding the long block.

Historical context

The T214 was the standard engine for Dodge 3/4-ton WC-series vehicles during WWII, developed as a robust 230ci flathead engine with chain-driven camshaft for reliability under severe conditions.
