Timing Chain Tensioner
Mitsubishi FUSO®

The Timing Chain Tensioner (part number QC000348) is a crucial component in the engine of a truck. This device is responsible for keeping the timing chain taut and in place, ensuring that the engine's valves open and close at the correct time. The tensioner works by applying pressure to the timing chain, which keeps it from becoming loose or skipping teeth. If the timing chain were to become slack, it could throw off the engine's timing and cause serious damage. The Timing Chain Tensioner is typically located near the front of the engine and is connected to the timing chain cover. Proper maintenance of this part is important for ensuring optimal engine performance and preventing costly repairs down the line.
