Timing Chain

please stop with the uninformed nonsense about the timing chain tensioner.
the tensioner provides rock solid ignition timing and keeps the cam events from running "late"
extra friction is more like hot air from the uninformed

The tensioners were designed for 3.9 v6 engines that had chain rattle issues. From what I have seen, the stock timing set was steel gears and a standard chain. You don't need a tensioner with a good quality double roller. The nylon rubbing blocks on the tensioners are too narrow and not designed for a wide double roller chain.
