Diagram Ref No 8

What This Product Does:

• The “tensioner blade” refers to a guide or support element in the timing chain system that helps apply correct pressure or alignment on the chain, often in combination with a chain tensioner or guide rail.
  
• When the timing chain runs between the crankshaft and camshafts (or intermediate shafts) it needs not only the chain and tensioner, but also supporting blades/rails/arms to manage movement, reduce slack and keep the chain tracking correctly.
• The tensioner blade part is one of the curated OEM components that helps ensure accurate timing drive by maintaining chain-contact, reducing vibration, guiding the chain — thereby supporting long-term durability and correct engine timing.

When You Should Consider Replacement:

• The timing chain system is being serviced (e.g., chain/guide/tensioner replacement) — as the blade is likely exposed or used in that service path.
• There are timing-related issues: rattling or clattering from the timing cover area, especially on cold start or idle — which can indicate slack or improper chain tracking.
  
• Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to camshaft/chain timing errors — because a damaged or worn blade may allow chain deflection or mistracking.
• Visual inspection (if accessible) reveals the blade or guide is worn, cracked, missing, or otherwise compromised.
• High mileage or extended service intervals — the supporting components around the chain wear, and a worn blade can expedite chain wear or guide rail wear.

Why Replacement Matters:

• Maintains engine timing integrity: If the blade that guides or supports the chain is compromised, the chain may skip, jump or wear prematurely — leading to timing errors and potential engine damage.
  
• Reduces noise & prolongs component life: Components like the tensioner blade help damp chain vibration and keep tensioners/rails from excessive wear. Replacing it helps preserve the chain drive system.
  
• Cost-effective preventive repair: When you already have access to the timing system (front cover off, chain out) replacing components such as the blade prevents future labour for incremental failures.
