Product Description:
The Maserati part number 196683 chain tensioner is a component of the timing chain system in a number of Maserati models, including the 4200 GT, Quattroporte V, GranCabrio, and GranTurismo. The timing chain system is responsible for keeping the camshaft and crankshaft in sync, and the chain tensioner ensures that the chain is properly tensioned so that it does not slip or come off the sprockets.
The chain tensioner is a hydraulically-operated device that uses oil pressure to keep the chain taut. As the engine warms up, the oil pressure increases, which causes the tensioner to expand and apply more tension to the chain. This ensures that the chain remains properly tensioned even as the engine temperature and RPMs fluctuate.
If the chain tensioner fails, it can cause the timing chain to slip or come off the sprockets. This can lead to serious engine damage, including bent valves and pistons. Therefore, it is important to regularly inspect the chain tensioner and replace it as needed.
The Maserati part number 196683 chain tensioner is a relatively inexpensive part, and it is a good idea to replace it every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. This will help to prevent costly engine damage down the road.
