Product Details

This Cloyes timing chain tensioner is engineered to maintain proper chain tension in the engine’s valve train system. Cloyes uses CAD-based design and advanced materials, and each tensioner is tested for function and durability before release. The 9-5947 is listed for a wide range of GM vehicles, including 2015-2020 Chevrolet Colorado, 2016-2020 Chevrolet Camaro, 2013-2020 Chevrolet Malibu, 2015-2020 GMC Canyon, and 2018-2020 GMC Terrain. It also applies to select Buick, Cadillac, and Chevrolet models across the 2013-2022 model years.

Cloyes recommends replacing the chain tensioner, sprockets, and guides together when servicing the timing chain. This part number, 9-5947, is a practical OE-style replacement for timing chain service on GM 2.0L and related applications where precise chain tension is required.

What It Helps Address

  • Timing chain slack
  • Chain noise from worn tension control
  • Valve timing instability
  • Wear in related timing components
  • Service replacement for a failed hydraulic or spring tensioner

Installation Notes

Install with the engine timing system properly indexed and follow the vehicle-specific service procedure. Because this tensioner uses an activation pin, confirm the pin is handled according to the service manual during installation. For timing chain repairs, inspect the guides and sprockets at the same time and replace them as needed. Verify exact vehicle application before ordering, since fitment varies by year, make, and model.

Quality Assurance

Cloyes states that its timing chain tensioners meet or exceed OEM performance requirements. The 9-5947 is CAD designed, manufactured with advanced materials, and tested for function and durability to support consistent engine timing performance.
