🔌 Function

  

The tensioner arm presses against the timing chain under force from the automatic adjuster.

  

It maintains chain control as the chain expands and contracts with temperature and gradually wears.

  

Common signs of wear:

  

• Deep grooves in the contact surface

• Cracked or missing wear material

• Chain rattle

• Timing-chain slack

• Exposed metal backing

• Uneven chain tracking

• Cam timing faults

• Difficult starting or reduced performance

  

Recommended checks before installation:

  

• Inspect the complete wear face

• Check the pivot or mounting point

• Inspect the automatic adjuster

• Check the timing chain for elongation

• Inspect all sprockets and fixed guides

• Reset or release the adjuster according to the service manual

• Rotate the engine by hand and verify all timing marks

  

📦 Condition

  

• Genuine Suzuki Marine used part

• Pre-owned internal engine component

• Wear marks and oil staining may be present

• Inspect against the factory wear limit before installation

• New timing components are generally preferred during major overhaul

• Supplied in protective or equivalent packaging
