Product Details
The Honda OEM Balance Shaft Chain Tensioner is a genuine factory replacement designed for select Honda and Acura K-Series engines. This tensioner maintains proper tension on the balance shaft drive chain, helping ensure smooth operation of the engine's balance shaft and oil pump drive system.
Over time, chain tensioners can wear or lose their ability to maintain proper chain tension, potentially causing excessive chain noise, vibration, and premature wear of related components. Replacing a worn or damaged tensioner during engine maintenance or rebuilding helps restore reliable chain operation.
Manufactured to Honda's original equipment specifications, this tensioner provides precise fitment and dependable performance for factory engine repairs, K-Series engine rebuilds, and compatible engine swaps.
