Via a spring-loaded piston pressurized with engine oil pressure, it presses the tensioner rail against the chain and compensates for chain stretch as well as load changes. A worn or leaking tensioner causes chain rattle on cold start, a chain skipping teeth, and in extreme cases catastrophic engine damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tensioner sits at the rear or side of the cylinder head in the timing case area and is screwed in from outside into the bore next to the chain tunnel.
