Detailed Description

Cloyes has focused on automotive timing systems since 1921, and the 9-0738SAX timing chain kit reflects that application-specific approach. The kit is built for direct timing system service on 2011-2016 Ford F-150, 2015-2017 Ford Expedition, 2015-2017 Lincoln Navigator, and 2015-2022 Ford Transit-150, Transit-250, Transit-350, and Transit-350 HD models. For buyers searching for a Ford F-150 timing chain kit, Ford Transit timing chain kit, or Lincoln Navigator timing chain replacement, this part number provides the matched components needed for the listed engines.

The chain design uses an inverted tooth, single roller configuration with steel construction for the chain assembly. With chain guides and a tensioner included, the kit supports a complete timing service rather than replacing only one wear item. Cloyes recommends replacing all engine timing components to maintain total timing system integrity, and this kit follows that service approach.

This part cross-references 90738SAX for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Timing chain stretch or wear
• Noise from worn chain guides or tensioner components
• Incorrect camshaft and crankshaft synchronization
• Timing system service on high-mileage Ford and Lincoln engines
• Restoration of proper engine timing after component wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine application by year, make, and model before installation. Because this is a timing system component, follow factory service procedures, timing marks, and torque specifications during assembly. Replace related timing components as part of a complete service to maintain timing alignment and reduce repeat repairs.

Quality Assurance

Cloyes backs this timing chain kit with an industry-leading warranty and technical support. The brand’s long history in timing systems and application-specific engineering supports consistent fitment and serviceability for the listed Ford and Lincoln vehicles.
