An oil pressurized tensioner that keeps the chain that runs from the crankshaft to camshaft or the chain that runs from camshaft to camshaft, from becoming loose and jumping a tooth or more causing engine damage or out of sync crankshaft to camshaft timing.

• Helps keep your engine operating as it should
• Ensures the timing chain receives the proper amount of tension
• Replace when worn out or damaged

Your INFINITI's timing chain makes sure the engine valves are opening and closing at the right intervals. It's essential that the timing chain has the proper tension to keep the camshaft and crankshaft's rotation in sync and make sure the engine valves are opening and closing at the right intervals. Your vehicle's Engine Timing Chain Tensioner makes sure the timing chain receives the proper amount of tension to keep your engine running as designed.

Your INFINITI's timing chain may become loose over time. The Engine Timing Chain Tensioner keeps the timing chain in the correct position and under the correct amount of pressure, regardless of any stretching that may occur. If your vehicle's Engine Timing Chain Tensioner is damaged or old, the timing chain could lose tension and fall out of place. A timing chain that falls out of place while driving could break, causing more severe damage. If your timing chain isn't working as it should, the pistons and valves could collide, and your engine won't be able to operate.

One obvious sign of an Engine Timing Chain Tensioner that needs to be replaced is a rattling sound coming from under the hood. A metal-on-metal sounding rattle could signify that your timing chain has lost tension and might be worn out. Over time, a timing chain that has become loose may lead to other troubles, like an oil leak.

If you think the Engine Timing Chain Tensioner on your vehicle is old or damaged, it's best to let a professional technician inspect it to replace or repair it, as it can be a difficult process accessing the Engine Timing Chain Tensioner.

If it's time to replace your Engine Timing Chain Tensioner, replace it with a new OEM replacement tensioner from INFINITI Parts. Get help with professional installation at your nearest authorized INFINITI service center.
