Goodyear Belts & Hoses 23052 Timing Belt Tensioner, Steel Spring Type

The Goodyear Belts & Hoses 23052 timing belt tensioner (also called a timing belt tension pulley) keeps the timing belt at the correct tension. The timing belt links the crankshaft and camshaft(s), so the valves open and close in step with piston movement. The tensioner keeps the belt tight and prevents slack, so the belt doesn't skip teeth on the pulleys.

Key Features:

• Steel construction, built for the demands of engine operation
• Spring-type tensioner with spring activation
• One pulley, not flanged, with a smooth, backside steel contact surface
• OE Performance grade, designed to match OE specifications
• Helps minimize timing belt wear and extend belt life
• Straightforward design that makes installation and adjustment easier

Cross-References:

• OEM Part Number: 13505-54021
• Gates: T41181

Replacing the tensioner along with the timing belt helps protect the engine from the damage that a timing belt failure can cause.
