The Hybrid Racing Chain Tensioner is a high-quality upgrade designed to address the common issue of weak timing chain tensioners in K series engines. This advanced tensioner is ideal for engines equipped with aftermarket cams, as well as in some cases with stock cams, where the fast ramp rate can lead to excessive wear.

Why Upgrade Your Chain Tensioner?

K series engines are known for their robustness, but the timing chain tensioners can be a weak point, particularly with the added stress of aftermarket cams. The original tensioners can wear down, and it's often challenging to detect this wear before it leads to significant problems. While stiffer springs in OEM tensioners can reduce wear, they don't prevent it entirely and can accelerate the timing chain's stretching.

Advanced Design for Enhanced Performance

The Hybrid Racing Chain Tensioner is engineered from the ground up to withstand the rigors of aftermarket cams without causing abnormal chain stretching. It features a dual-ratchet design with hardened tool steel teeth and a heat-treated chromoly piston. The teeth are made from the same material as high-end impact wrench ratchets, offering unparalleled strength and durability.

Improved Fit and Oil Response

This tensioner fits more snugly into the K series engine's timing chain guide than the OEM unit, preventing misalignment and premature wear. It also has optimized internal oil passageways for a quicker response to oil pressure changes, crucial for engines that rev high and fast.

Manufactured from Scratch for Reliability

Each Hybrid Racing K Series Chain Tensioner is manufactured from scratch, not a rebuilt OEM tensioner. This guarantees a product that has undergone rigorous testing and refinement, ensuring reliability and performance that surpasses other products on the market.
