A worn or failing chain tensioner can lead to chain slack, rattling noise, timing variation, and accelerated wear of chain guides, sprockets, or shafts.

Replace the tensioner when:
•  Rebuilding or disassembling the engine
•  Noticeable noise or slack in the timing chain
•  During preventive maintenance on high-mileage engines

Using high-precision replacement restores proper tension, reduces noise, and protects your timing system components.
