Chain tensioner
Fig. 40: Chain tensioner, cylinder bank 1-4
A chain tensioner is mounted in the side of the cylinder head for
each camshaft drive chain. There is a guide ball in the chain
tensioner. The guide ball moves in an arched groove at the
tensioning rail.
The chain tensioner seal must be replaced each time the chain
tensioner is disassembled.
The chain tensioners are the same for both the left and the right
cylinder heads.
