This is a genuine TOYOTA timing chain tensioner, part number 13205-58050. It is engineered to precise specifications to ensure the correct tension is applied to your vehicle's timing chain. Proper chain tension is critical for maintaining accurate valve timing, which directly impacts engine performance, fuel efficiency, and overall longevity. A worn or faulty timing chain tensioner can lead to a slack timing chain. This slack can cause the chain to jump teeth on the sprockets, resulting in incorrect valve timing. In severe cases, this can lead to catastrophic engine damage, such as piston-to-valve contact. Replacing your timing chain tensioner with a genuine TOYOTA part ensures compatibility and the highest quality materials for dependable operation. This tensioner is manufactured in Japan (JP), a testament to TOYOTA's commitment to quality and precision engineering. It is a direct replacement for your original equipment tensioner, designed for a seamless installation process. Regular inspection and maintenance of your timing chain system, including the tensioner, are recommended to prevent unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs.
