Goodyear Belts & Hoses 23097 Timing Belt Tensioner

The Goodyear Belts & Hoses 23097 Timing Belt Tensioner is a replacement engine timing system component. It 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 presses on the belt to remove slack and stop it from skipping teeth on the pulleys.

Key Features:

• Maintains proper timing belt tension for accurate engine timing
• Helps limit belt wear, which extends belt life and lowers the risk of premature failure
• Built from durable materials for long-lasting, consistent performance
• Straightforward design that is easy to install and adjust
• Made to match OE specifications for fit and function

A properly working tensioner lowers the risk of belt failure, which can cause serious engine damage. Replace the tensioner and timing belt at the intervals the vehicle manufacturer recommends.
