Litens was the Original Equipment (O.E.) suppliers of this Honda/Acura tensioner and offers this “O.E. Exact”* part for the aftermarket. This “O.E. Exact”* part for the aftermarket meets all original equipment form, fit, and function specifications. *(O.E. Exact – Original Equipment manufacturers prohibits the use of their part number or logo on parts sold to other customers. Therefore, the Litens aftermarket part may have minor cosmetic differences but still be exact in performance and design). This popular tensioner is designed with 2 heavy duty steel pulleys. The tensioner pulley which functions as a routing pulley comes unattached to the tensioner since it is used to mount the tensioner to the engine block. The existing bolt and dust shield will be re-used during installation. Choosing The Correct Replacement Part: Both the original equipment and Litens aftermarket tensioner use round spring technology and are marked “Made in Canada”. Note: On 11/1/08 Honda issued a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB # 08-082) on this part advising of a tensioner fit issue requiring trimming of the lower timing belt cover.

Product Features:

• Manufactured by the original equipment part supplier to ensure proper form, fit and performance
• Internal “round spring” technology to provide constant belt tension and alignment throughout its service life.
• Installation instructions included.
• 2 – Heavy Duty Steel Pulleys with close tolerance ball bearing pocket and Electro-deposited coating for superior corrosion resistance
• Professional Mechanics will change this tensioner in approx. 20 minutes.
• Due to the fact that belts and tensioners have similar Original Equipment “design life targets”, it is often a best practice to replace the belt tensioner when replacing a worn or broken belt. Belt removal is required to change the tensioner. Therefore, d

• This tensioner is another Dayco product proudly made in the USA

Dayco’s Automatic Belt Tensioner features a patented “flat spring” design that’s engineered to provide less operating range variations in tension. This reduces the risk of premature accessory bearing failure due to high tension when a new belt is installed. It also lessens the risk of belt squeal and slippage, or poor accessory performance caused by low tension after the belt begins to stretch and wear. A Teflon strip wound within the spring resists abrasion. The flat spring itself is coated to resist rust.

Product Features:

• Heavy-duty cast aluminum spring case resists cracking and fatigue
• Steel locator pin and pivot tube (where the application demands)
• Heavy-duty cast aluminum arm offers additional strength and less distortion
• Thermoplastic rubber “spring slot plug” keeps out harmful contaminants
• Zinc coated mounting bolt (where included) resists rust, and is concentric for a more even degree of constant tension

The Dayco Accessory Belt Tensioner Assembly is a direct fit OEM replacement that contains the same high quality craftsmanship and materials as the original equipment it replaces.

Product Features:

• OE-Equivalent and a direct fit application
• High quality precision spring tension assembly
• OE specified bearing and pulley assembly
• Durable long life performance

Litens Automotive is the original equipment supplier of this tensioner for this Honda application. The Litens replacement part meets all form, fit, and performance characteristics of the original equipment part (with the exception of not having the car manufacturer’s logo or part number applied to the part). The Litens replacement part maintains the round wire spring, enhanced damping level, and the heavy duty steel pulley specified by the O.E. manufacturer. Note: Honda issued TSB 03-052 (Technical Service Bulletin) on the original tensioner (999505a) for noise issues when used on Acura MDX and Honda Pilot. The TSB resulted in this variant (999537a) which has the higher tension rate and the improved damping recommended by Honda /Acura .
