Reply To: WANTED: Tensioning Spring for timing chain

[Author nameAuthor names are only available to PAS members.]

Hello Kyle,

Do you need just the spring, or the whole assembly including the gear and sleeve?

If you need just the spring, can’t you find one of equal length, wire size & tension in a industrial parts supply company like McMaster-Carr.com?

I did my timing chain last year and I am not sure the spring in the tensioner is anything special, per se.

I have an extra assembly and I think the spring is good, but I have to look to see how hard it is to get out of the assembly.

Please advise as to your thoughts on the matter.
