This is a genuine TOYOTA timing chain tensioner, part number 130414701101, with the new part number 13041-47012-01 from Japan (JP). It is a critical component in your vehicle's engine, responsible for maintaining the correct tension on the timing chain. Proper chain tension is essential for synchronizing the rotation of the camshaft and crankshaft, which dictates the timing of the engine's valves. A worn or malfunctioning timing chain tensioner can lead to a loose timing chain. This looseness can cause the chain to skip teeth on the sprockets, resulting in incorrect valve timing. Symptoms of a failing tensioner can include rattling noises from the engine, especially at startup, and potentially a check engine light. If left unaddressed, incorrect valve timing can lead to significant engine damage, including piston-to-valve contact. By replacing your timing chain tensioner with this genuine TOYOTA part, you ensure compatibility and the high-quality standards expected from your vehicle's manufacturer. This component is designed for a precise fit and durable performance, contributing to the longevity and smooth operation of your TOYOTA engine.
