Cloyes 9-0708SB timing chain kit for the 2009-2012 Ford Escape V6 3.0L and other vehicles links the crankshaft to the camshaft. The engine timing chain kit replaces the chain-drive parts that keep the valves opening in step with the pistons.
- Chains are pre-stressed and heat-treated
- Precision pitch control for chain-to-sprocket fit, to reduce noise and fatigue and hold accurate timing
- CAD-designed, heat-treated sprockets with a precision-tooled tooth form, bore, off-set and timing index
- Chain guides give the chain its path between crankshaft and camshaft and are CAD designed for quiet operation
- Each part is tested for function and durability

- Also called: engine timing chain kit
- Fits: 2009-2012 Ford Escape V6 3.0L and other vehicles
A rattle from the front of the engine at startup or a timing-related warning light can mean the chain has stretched or the guides have worn. Before you replace the kit, rule out other sources of a front-of-engine noise or a code, since the same signs can come from other parts. The chain, sprockets, tensioners and guides are best replaced together, and the engine takes one kit.
