Detailed Description

This Cloyes timing chain tensioner is engineered to maintain proper timing chain tension in engines that use a hydraulic/spring tensioning system. Cloyes uses advanced materials and manufacturing methods to produce a part that meets or exceeds OEM performance requirements, with attention to quiet operation and consistent chain control. Part number 9-5664 is listed for multiple Ford, Lincoln, Mazda, and Mercury V6 applications, including 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2009-2010 Ford Flex, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKZ, 2007-2010 Mazda CX-9, and 2008-2009 Mercury Sable in the specified right or right lower positions.

This part cross-references Ford OE 7T4Z6K254B for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Timing chain slack
• Chain noise from worn tension control
• Inconsistent valve timing caused by weak tensioner operation
• Wear in the timing chain system after extended service
• Loss of proper chain preload in hydraulic or spring tensioned systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine configuration, position, and model-year coverage before installation. This tensioner is listed for right and right lower locations depending on application, and some fitments note engines with a single tooth water pump sprocket or Mazda CX-9 engines manufactured up to 12/14/2010. Cloyes recommends replacing the chain tensioner, sprockets, and guides together when servicing the timing chain system.
