Product Details

This Cloyes Timing Chain Tensioner Guide is part of the Cloyes timing guide line, which focuses on OE-style timing components built with CAD-designed construction and advanced materials. Cloyes tests each part for function and durability, and the brand recommends replacing the chain tensioner(s), sprocket(s), and guide(s) together when servicing the timing chain. For applications such as the Ford F-150, Ford Expedition, and Lincoln Navigator, the right-side guide helps keep the chain tracking correctly between the crankshaft and camshaft.

This part cross-references 95397 and F85Z6K255AA for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Timing chain noise from a worn guide surface
• Chain misalignment on the right side of the engine
• Excessive wear on timing components during service
• Loss of chain control caused by a damaged guide shoe
• Timing system service on Ford and Lincoln V8 engines

Installation Notes

Verify engine application, model year, and right-side position before installation. This guide is not adjustable and uses a specific-fit design, so correct vehicle identification is important. When replacing the timing chain, inspect the tensioner and sprockets at the same time and replace related wear components as needed. Confirm fitment for 1997-2019 Ford E-350 Super Duty, 1997-2014 Ford Expedition, 1997-2010 Ford F-150, and 1998-2014 Lincoln Navigator applications listed in the catalog.

Quality Assurance

Cloyes manufactures this timing chain guide using advanced materials and validates it through functional and durability testing to support consistent engine timing performance. The part is designed to meet or exceed OEM performance requirements for the listed applications.
