Timing Chain Tensioner Blade. Porsche 957 / 958 Cayenne 3.6L Petrol 2007-17  ❭  95510506501

Timing Chain Tensioner Blade.
The OE MATCH Timing Chain Tensioner Blade is a engine timing component designed to provide a durable contact surface for the timing chain tensioner on compatible Porsche engines. This precision-engineered tensioner blade works in conjunction with the hydraulic timing chain tensioner to maintain correct chain tension, ensuring precise camshaft timing, reduced chain vibration and smooth engine operation.  

Fits:

• Porsche 957 Cayenne 3.6L 2007-10
• Porsche 958 Cayenne V6 3.6L Petrol (300Hp) 2010-17  

Diagram Ref No 12

The tensioner blade is engineered to withstand continuous contact with the timing chain, hot engine oil, elevated operating temperatures and repeated thermal cycling. Precision to OE dimensions, it provides replacement fitment and dependable long-term performance, making it ideal during timing chain servicing, engine rebuilds or preventative maintenance.  

What This Product Does:

• Provides a wear-resistant contact surface for the timing chain tensioner.
• Maintains correct timing chain tension.
• Controls timing chain movement and vibration.
• Supports accurate camshaft and crankshaft timing.
• Reduces timing chain noise.
• Minimises wear on the timing chain, guides and sprockets.
• Forms an essential part of the engine timing assembly.

Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:

• Rattling or ticking noises from the timing chain area, particularly during cold starts.
• Increased timing chain noise during engine operation.
• Excessive timing chain slack.
• Timing-related engine fault codes.
• Rough idle or reduced engine performance.
• Visible wear grooves or scoring on the blade surface.
• Cracked, broken or missing sections of the blade.
• Plastic fragments found in the engine oil or oil sump.
• Accelerated wear of the timing chain and hydraulic tensioner.
• Severe engine damage if the timing chain loses tension or jumps timing.

Why Replacement Matters:

• The timing chain tensioner blade operates under constant load, supporting the timing chain while the hydraulic tensioner maintains the correct chain tension. Continuous friction, hot engine oil, vibration and repeated heat cycles gradually wear the blade surface, while ageing can cause the composite material to become brittle and crack.
• A worn or damaged tensioner blade can reduce the effectiveness of the timing chain tensioner, allowing excessive chain movement, increased engine noise and accelerated wear of the complete timing system. In severe cases, the timing chain may skip teeth, causing incorrect valve timing and potentially catastrophic internal engine damage.
