Timing Chain Tensioner; Primary (11-18 3.6L Challenger)Find parts that fit my vehicle

Understanding Your Challenger’s Primary Timing Chain Tensioner. Your Challenger’s Primary Timing Chain Tensioner is a critical component of the timing assembly, ensuring proper tension across the timing chain to account for chain stretch, guide wear, and prevent the timing chain from skipping and offsetting cam-crank timing. If not for the timing chain tensioner, catastrophic failure could occur to your Challenger’s interference engine, allowing the valves to contact the pistons and leading to expensive repairs or irreparable engine damage.  

Replace A Damaged Primary Timing Chain Tensioner. The primary timing chain tensioner consists of an alloy body, an internal piston, and a plastic chain guide. During starting, an internal spring keeps the tensioner from fully collapsing until oil pressure can reach the tensioner to extend the internal piston, forcing the plastic guide against the chain and maintaining proper tension. When the tensioner fails, whether due to a damaged internal piston, damaged spring, or worn chain guide, the tensioner may become weak or inoperable, resulting in chain rattle or skipped timing. Replace your Challenger’s faulty timing chain as soon as symptoms present to prolong the life of your engine and prevent unnecessary damage.
