Engine Timing Chain Tensioner

Engine Timing Chain Tensioner from Evergreen

An engine timing chain tensioner keeps slack out of the timing chain, often using engine oil pressure. A weak tensioner is a common cause of startup rattle.

When to Replace
  • Rattle for a few seconds after startup
  • Oil leak at the tensioner
  • Timing correlation codes
Installation Tips
  • Reset or prime the tensioner as directed
  • Replace worn guides at the same time
  • Use the correct oil viscosity
