This is a genuine TOYOTA timing chain tensioner, part number 13560AD010. 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 ensuring the camshaft and crankshaft are synchronized, which dictates the precise timing of valve operation. 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 significant engine damage, including piston-to-valve contact. Replacing your timing chain tensioner with a genuine TOYOTA part ensures the highest quality and compatibility with your vehicle's specific engine. This tensioner is designed to meet the stringent standards set by TOYOTA, providing durable and reliable operation. Regular inspection and maintenance of your timing chain system, including the tensioner, are recommended to prevent costly repairs down the line. Trust in genuine TOYOTA parts to keep your engine running smoothly and efficiently.
