What It Helps Address

• Timing chain noise from a worn or damaged guide
• Chain tracking issues on the right side of the engine
• Timing service repairs on Ford F-150 and Ford Explorer engines
• Replacement of a brittle or worn nylon guide surface
• Restoration of proper chain tension control during engine operation

Installation Notes

Replace the chain tensioner, sprockets, and guides together when servicing the timing chain. That approach helps restore the full timing system rather than replacing only one wear component. Verify application details by engine code and model year before installation, especially on Ford F-150, Ford Explorer, and Transit models.

This part cross-references Ford OE numbers AT4Z6K255A and BL3Z6K255A for the same application.

Quality Assurance

Cloyes designs this timing chain tensioner guide to meet or exceed OEM performance requirements. Each part is CAD designed, manufactured with advanced materials, and tested for function and durability to support reliable timing system operation.
