Description

Function of the Timing Chain Tensioner

The timing chain tensioner maintains correct tension on the timing chain, preventing slack that could cause the chain to jump teeth. A failing tensioner causes a rattling noise on startup and can lead to timing chain skip and engine damage.

Why order it from Partszar

A timing belt or chain gives no second warning. When it lets go, on most modern engines the pistons meet the valves and a routine service becomes an engine rebuild. Replaced on time, and always together with the tensioner, it is the cheapest insurance the engine has.
