Detailed Description

Cloyes 9-0708SB is an engine timing chain kit engineered for timing drive service on select Ford Escape, Ford Fusion, Mercury Mariner, and Mercury Milan models. The kit uses an inverted tooth chain with steel construction, a metal crankshaft sprocket, and included guides and tensioner to support stable timing operation. Cloyes designs timing system components using CAD-based development and tests parts for function and durability to help deliver consistent performance in demanding engine environments. This part cross-references 90708SB for the same application.

Common Problems This Kit Addresses

• Timing chain noise from worn chain, guides, or tensioner components
• Engine timing instability caused by stretched or fatigued timing components
• Service issues related to degraded original timing drive parts
• Restoration of proper cam-to-crank synchronization during timing system repair
• Replacement needs on vehicles with timing chain wear and no VVT sprocket requirement

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine configuration before installation, since this kit does not include the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) sprocket. Inspect related timing components, seals, and engine surfaces during service, and follow the factory timing procedure for the specific vehicle application. Confirm alignment marks and chain routing carefully before final assembly.
