Common Problems This Part Addresses

• Timing chain noise from worn guide surfaces
• Chain misalignment in the left lower timing path
• Excessive wear on timing system components
• Improper chain tracking after timing service
• Need for a direct replacement during engine timing repair

Installation Notes and Tips

Replace the timing chain guide during timing service when the chain shows wear or when the engine is already disassembled for access. Cloyes recommends replacing the chain tensioner, sprockets, and guides together because these parts work as a system to keep chain tension and alignment consistent. Verify engine-specific application details before installation, especially on 2011 Ford and Lincoln models with the dual tooth water pump sprocket note.

Quality Assurance

Cloyes designs and manufactures timing components using CAD-based engineering and advanced materials, then tests each part for function and durability. The 9-5695 is built to meet or exceed OEM performance requirements for the listed Ford, Lincoln, and Mazda applications.
