Adjustable Timing Belt Tensioner
Don’t get stranded from a common failure, use our tensioner for reliability!
- Fitment Guaranteed
- Fast Shipping
Our Manual Timing Belt Tensioner is designed to replace the OEM Auto hydraulic tensioner that is a common to failure point on the KL series engine. When the OEM auto tensioner fails it allows the timing belt to jump on the valve train causing a no start or retarded timing condition.
Features:
- New Design allows precise adjustments
- New Design can be adjusted easily with flex head 3/8 ratcheting wrench
- This tensioner is a direct replacement on the KL V6 engines.
- No modifications needed to the engine.
- Painted in POR15 Top Coat Gloss Black
Options:
- With Hardware: Timing Tensioner will use the existing hardware from your OEM auto tensioner. This hardware may be too long and require washers to tighten the tensioner fully.
- Without Hardware: Timing Tensioner includes (2) 8mm x 14mm High-Strength Steel Flanged Hex Head Screw’s that are sized correctly to tighten tensioner fully.
Suggestions:
- Part of the timing belt cover can be cut away for future adjustments if needed (pictured) or leave the covers off entirely.
- If removing the covers entirely, see our timing mark bracket to retain the ability to properly set the timing.

Directions
This guide assumes you have already gone through the process of removing your OEM Timing belt tensioner.     Start by fully compressing the King6fab adjustable timing belt tensioner to its lowest level, this is done by loosening the jam nut and turning the bolt to its lowest point.  From here you can mount the tensioner on the engine.
Once the tensioner is mounted to the engine, proceed to adjust the tension on the belt by tightening the bolt. Its best to tighten the belt to a point that the crank shaft can be rotated without the belt slipping on the cams. Rotate the engine a few times, now check the deflection on the belt, on average, 3/8″ of the piston of the adjustable timing belt tensioner will be visible.
If you choose to put the timing belt covers back on your engine, its recommended to make cut aways so that the timing belt tensioner can be adjusted and inspected at regular service intervals. Making cut aways in the cover can be done easily with a Dremel, a mini reciprocating saw or a exacto knife.
Troubleshooting
- Engine has Super Charger whine: Timing belt tensioner is too tight. Loosen the tensioner until the whine fades out.
- Engine has chatter sound: Timing belt tensioner is to loose. Tighten the tensioner until the chatter fades out.
