Cloyes C708F Engine Timing Chain

The Cloyes C708F is a specific-fit engine timing chain built for precise crankshaft-to-camshaft synchronization. It is engineered with steel construction, an inverted tooth design, and 8mm pitch for accurate chain-to-sprocket engagement in supported Ford, Mazda, Mercury, and Lincoln applications.

For timing chain service on a Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute, or Mercury Mariner, this Cloyes timing chain is designed to restore proper valve timing and stable engine operation when the original chain has worn or stretched.

Key Features

Steel timing chain with inverted tooth design
Specific-fit application for listed vehicles
8mm chain pitch for proper sprocket fitment
144-link design with 22 1/2 in. overall length
Three timing marks for alignment during service
CAD-designed and manufactured with premium materials
Precision pitch control for consistent chain-to-sprocket engagement

Application Details

Cloyes C708F is used in engine timing systems where accurate camshaft and crankshaft synchronization is required. It is listed for 2000-2012 Ford Escape, 2006-2012 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Mercury Mariner, 2006-2011 Mercury Milan, 2003-2008 Mazda 6, 2001-2006 Mazda MPV, 2001-2006 Mazda Tribute, 2005-2007 Ford Five Hundred, 2005-2007 Ford Freestyle, 2005-2007 Mercury Montego, 2006 Lincoln Zephyr, 2001-2005 Ford Taurus, 2001-2005 Mercury Sable, 2001-2002 Lincoln LS, 2001-2002 Mercury Cougar, and 2001 Ford Sable, all in the center position. This part number, C708F, is also referenced for related timing drive service on these platforms.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

Timing chain stretch that can affect valve timing
Noise from a worn engine timing chain
Rough running caused by inaccurate cam/crank synchronization
Timing-related drivability issues after chain wear
Service replacement for high-mileage timing drive systems

Installation Notes

Before installation, verify engine application, center position fitment, and timing mark alignment for the specific vehicle. Cloyes recommends replacing the chain tensioner, sprockets, and guides at the same time as the chain to help maintain system stability and accurate timing. Confirm all timing components are indexed correctly before engine start-up.

Quality Assurance

Cloyes designs and manufactures timing drive components using CAD-based engineering, premium materials, and testing for function, fitment, and durability. The C708F timing chain is built to meet the demands of OE-style timing service in supported Ford, Mazda, Mercury, and Lincoln engines.

This part fits 80 vehicles

Always verify fitment with your vehicle's VIN if unsure. Submodel & trim restrictions may apply.
