The timing chain tensioner is vital to maintaining not only proper timing, but the life of the chain itself. Generally these will need to be replaced before the chain itself goes bad. Be sure to change yours at the proper intervals to avoid failure.

Over time, your engine timing components begin to wear out. Tensioners weaken, chains can stretch, and timing chain guides can wear down. All of these lead to the possibility of the timing chain jumping teeth on the sprockets, causing your timing to shift. This could result in rough idle and reduced engine power, or even complete engine failure. Prevent damage to your engine with new timing components, such as this IWIS timing chain tensioner. Note, we recommend replacing timing components every 100K miles, or sooner, depending on the condition of the timing components.

The guide rails in your timing set keep everything tracking properly. Because it is made out of a plastic-like material, years of abrasion can wear parts of it away. This can cause the chain can to become slightly loose and cause a chain 'slap' or rattle noise. Replace your damaged timing chain tensioner and guide rails to keep timing chain noise to a minimum. Located on the outside of the timing chain guide that keeps tension on the chain.
