Goodyear Belts & Hoses 23083 Timing Belt Tensioner

The Goodyear Belts & Hoses 23083 Timing Belt Tensioner is a replacement engine timing belt tensioner. It keeps the timing belt at the correct tension so the engine's timing system runs accurately.

Key Features:

• Applies steady pressure to the timing belt to keep it tight and prevent slack
• Helps keep the belt from skipping teeth on the pulleys, which protects crankshaft and camshaft timing
• Helps reduce wear on the timing belt and extend its service life
• Built to withstand the demands of automotive engines
• Designed for straightforward installation and adjustment

The timing belt links the crankshaft and camshaft(s) so the valves open and close in step with piston movement. Correct belt tension is important to the belt's longevity and performance. A worn tensioner can lead to belt failure and serious engine damage. Follow the vehicle manufacturer's recommended replacement intervals, and inspect or replace the tensioner whenever the timing belt is serviced.
