Product Description

The Dirt Tricks Cam Chain Tensioner is a direct replacement component designed to resolve issues with slack timing chains in modern 4-stroke engines. The OEM factory tensioning devices on many newer 4-strokes rely on engine oil pressure to generate force, which can lead to insufficient tensioning and a slack chain if the system fails to maintain pressure or mechanical lock. This Dirt Tricks tensioner replaces the factory unit by utilizing a positive mechanical ratcheting system. This design effectively captures the oil pressure while providing a mechanical fail-safe that prevents the tensioner from collapsing. By maintaining constant and proper chain tension, it eliminates the common ticking noise often heard at idle and protects the engine from the potential damage caused by a loose or jumping timing chain. This unit provides a reliable, robust solution for engine timing system maintenance. Please verify fitment for your specific application before purchasing.

Key Features

• Positive mechanical ratcheting system prevents collapse
• Eliminates slack in the timing chain system
• Resolves 'ticking' noise at idle caused by OEM design
• Fail-safe replacement for hydraulic-only tensioners
