• Benefits: Reduces chain slack, eliminates unusual engine noises, ensures smooth operation
• Critical Component: Loss of oil pressure or sticking can cause chain looseness and system failure

• Persistent clicking or rattling metal noise from engine front (especially during cold starts)
• Illuminated check engine light with timing correlation fault codes
• Reduced engine power and increased fuel consumption
• Causes include chain wear/stretch, tensioner oil pressure loss, and worn guides
