Cloyes® 9-5482 - Front Timing Belt Tensioner

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.
