• Wear-related timing system issues during chain service
• Restoration of proper tension in Nissan 240SX, D21, and Pickup upper timing assemblies

Installation Notes

Use this tensioner only on the listed specific-fit applications. For timing chain service, Cloyes recommends replacing the chain tensioner, sprockets, and guides together because these components work as a system to keep the chain properly supported and tensioned. Verify application details in the catalog before installation, and confirm upper-position fitment for your vehicle.
