This is a genuine TOYOTA timing chain tensioner, part number 16620-31013. It is a critical component for your vehicle's engine, responsible for maintaining the correct tension on the timing chain. Proper chain tension is essential for ensuring the timing belt or chain operates correctly, which in turn dictates the precise synchronization of your engine's valves and pistons. Over time, timing chain tensioners can wear out or fail, leading to a slack timing chain. A loose chain can cause rattling noises, reduced engine performance, and in severe cases, can jump teeth, leading to catastrophic engine damage. Replacing a worn tensioner with a genuine TOYOTA part ensures compatibility and the highest quality standards for your engine's longevity and smooth operation. This tensioner is manufactured to meet the exact specifications of your TOYOTA vehicle, guaranteeing a perfect fit and function. By using genuine parts, you are investing in the reliability and performance of your car, ensuring it runs as the manufacturer intended.
