PROBLEM SOLVING INNOVATION
The original tensioner for this application utilizes a sealing bead molded directly to the tensioner housing. For this repair, the OE recommends replacing the tensioner if the silicone bead is broken, even though the original tensioner may still be otherwise functional.
The Fel-Pro engineering team designed this new innovative Timing Chain Tensioner Gasket solution for this growing repair occasion, which allows you to install and re-seal the original tensioner on Ford 4.6L/5.4L V8 engines and 6.8L V10 engines from 2001-2014.
