Good quality aftermarket replacement

I am very impressed with the quality of this kit. OEM quality, should last a long time. I bought this kit because I needed a top rail. This kit has it all for a little more than the price of the top rail. Due to the age and wear and tear of your car's old parts, I would recommend replacing all the guides at the same time.

Pros

The chain tensioner acts on the timing belt or engine timing chain to guide and tension it so that it is always in a state of optimum tension. The timing chain controls the opening of the intake and exhaust valves depending on the position of the crankshaft by rotating the camshaft at a specific speed. With the valves open and closed, the position of the camshaft is determined in relation to the position of the crankshaft.

Cons
