### Product Details

Timing Chain Tensioner with Spring by Cloyes®. A timing chain tensioner maintains appropriate tension in the timing chain system. Depending on the OE design, tensioners can use spring tension and/or hydraulic pressure to properly tension the system.

The crankshaft drives the valvetrain via timing gears. Gear timing must be precise to ensure the valves open and close at the right time, for optimum engine performance. However, worn gears can cause timing to go astray and cause the engine to not start or run poorly. When it’s time to replace worn timing system components, depend on Cloyes for the OE quality timing drive components that will restore engine performance and reliability. Cloyes has been manufacturing timing components for over 80 years. It’s their only product line, which enables them to concentrate on maintaining the highest quality standards. In fact, Cloyes has achieved ISO/TS 16949 quality certification, the highest level offered for the design/development and production of automotive related products. Cloyes is the only aftermarket timing component manufacturer that is also a Tier 1 supplier to OE vehicle manufacturers. As an OE supplier, Cloyes knows how to make parts that install and work perfectly, so you can be assured that whatever timing components you need for your vehicle, with Cloyes you’ll get OE fit and function. Cloyes parts are CAD designed and manufactured using advanced materials. Each part is extensively tested for function and durability to ensure optimal performance. Cloyes is so confident in the quality and performance of its timing components that it warrants all except high-performance products to be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal operating conditions for as long as the original purchaser owns the vehicle in which the product is originally installed.
