RH MOBILE SLIDING BLOCK

RH MOBILE SLIDING BLOCK

Product Description:

Maserati part number 323473 is a right-hand (RH) mobile sliding block. It is a component of the timing system in Maserati Ghibli, Levante, Quattroporte, and other models. The mobile sliding block is responsible for keeping the timing chain tensioned and preventing it from slipping. This is important for ensuring that the engine timing remains accurate and that the engine runs smoothly.

The mobile sliding block is a relatively small part, but it is an important one. If it fails, it can cause serious engine damage. Therefore, it is important to have the mobile sliding block inspected and replaced regularly, especially if you are driving a high-performance Maserati.

Here is a more detailed explanation of the purpose of the mobile sliding block in the timing system:

• The timing chain is a metal chain that connects the crankshaft to the camshaft. The crankshaft rotates the pistons in the engine, and the camshaft operates the valves. The timing chain ensures that the valves open and close at the correct time, which is essential for the engine to run smoothly.
• The timing chain tensioner is a device that keeps the timing chain tensioned and prevents it from slipping. The tensioner is connected to the mobile sliding block.
• As the engine runs, the timing chain tensioner applies pressure to the mobile sliding block, which in turn keeps the timing chain tensioned.
• The mobile sliding block is free to move within a certain range, which allows it to compensate for changes in the length of the timing chain due to wear and tear.

If the mobile sliding block fails, it can cause the timing chain to slip. This can disrupt the engine timing and cause serious engine damage. Therefore, it is important to have the mobile sliding block inspected and replaced regularly.
