CONSTRUCTION
A roller chain with a 9.525 mm (0.375 in.) pitch is used.
The timing chain is lubricated by a timing chain oil jet.
The chain tensioner uses a spring and oil pressure to maintain proper chain tension at all times. The chain tensioner suppresses noise generated by the timing chain.
The chain tensioner is ratchet type with a non-return mechanism.
To achieve excellent serviceability, the chain tensioner is constructed so that it can be removed and installed from the outside of the timing chain cover assembly.
