Resolve timing chain issues and protect your engine with the Dirt Tricks Cam Chain Tensioner. Designed specifically for modern four-stroke motors, this component addresses the common problem of slack timing chains that can lead to significant engine damage.
The original equipment manufacturer (OEM) tensioning devices are designed to develop force using hydraulic engine oil pressure. However, these components often possess inherent flaws that leave the timing chain in a slack condition, especially during critical moments. Our tensioner serves as a simple, effective, and fail-safe replacement for the OEM unit.
By correctly capturing oil pressure and utilizing a positive mechanical ratcheting system, this tensioner prevents the timing chain from collapsing. This dual-action approach ensures constant, reliable tension that hydraulic-only systems cannot guarantee. If you notice a persistent "ticking" noise at idle on your late-model four-stroke, it is a clear indicator that your timing chain requires this essential upgrade.
Engineered for durability and precision, this part provides peace of mind for riders who demand reliability from their high-performance machines. Eliminate the risks associated with factory tensioner failure and ensure your valvetrain remains properly timed under all riding conditions.
