Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Cloyes 9-5229 timing chain tensioner requires removal of the timing cover and careful alignment of the tensioner with the mounting holes. Since this tensioner is non-adjustable, ensure the activation pin is properly engaged during installation. The included shoe should be positioned correctly to guide the timing chain and reduce wear.
