Designed to absorb changes in the loss of timing belt tension, Cloyes Timing Belt Tensioners provide constant tension on the timing belt during crankshaft revolution which reduces noise, prevents belt flapping, and ensures proper transmission efficiency throughout the entire service life of the belt. Tensioners are vital components in any belt or chain drive timing system. They apply tension on belts/chains to ensure balance shaft/valve timing is maintained. A faulty timing belt/chain tensioner can allow the belt/chain to jump one or more sprocket teeth resulting in poor engine performance or an engine that won’t start, and severe damage on some engines from valve-to-piston contact. A weak balance shaft belt/chain tensioner can allow balance shaft timing to go astray resulting in severe vibration. Don’t risk engine damage or poor performance with lesser quality tensioner components. Use Cloyes, the worldwide leader in automotive timing drive systems with over 80 years’ experience. Cloyes manufactures its timing components in state-of-the art plants to OE specifications. 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.
