Detailed Description

Cloyes has supplied timing system components since 1921, and the 9-6140 timing chain tensioner lever reflects that focus on engine timing service. In operation, the lever transfers tension from the tensioner to the tensioner guide, helping the chain stay properly controlled during engine operation. For timing service, Cloyes recommends replacing the chain along with the tensioners, guides, and sprockets to maintain timing system integrity.

This part cross-references 1455059B000 for the same application. The 9-6140 is a practical choice for technicians servicing timing chain systems on late-model Honda Civic, Honda Accord, Honda CR-V, and Acura Integra vehicles where precise valve train timing is critical.

What It Helps Address

• Timing chain slack or inconsistent chain control
• Noise from worn timing system components

• Timing system instability during engine operation
• Service needs during a full timing chain repair

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the full timing system before installation. Cloyes recommends replacing the chain, tensioners, guides, and sprockets together during service to preserve timing system integrity. Verify application by year, make, and model before installation, and confirm the lever matches the existing mounting points and dimensions. Part number 9-6140 should be checked against the vehicle’s timing system layout before assembly.
