It is also listed for 1983 Nissan 720 upper timing chain service. When replacing the chain, Cloyes recommends replacing the tensioner, sprockets, and guides together because these components work together to keep the chain properly tensioned.

What It Helps Address

• Timing chain slack in upper engine timing systems
• Chain noise caused by worn tension control components
• Irregular chain tension from aging hydraulic or spring tensioners
• Wear-related timing drive instability during engine operation
• Service issues when replacing a worn timing chain without related components

Installation Notes

Verify engine application and upper position before installation. This tensioner is not manually adjustable and uses an activation pin, so follow the service procedure for your specific Nissan engine. Inspect the chain, guides, and sprockets during timing service, and replace any worn components at the same time to restore proper chain control.
