MacKay utilizes leading edge rubber technology and compounds, supported by in-house processes from rubber mixing to final product. This ensures hoses are made to the strict specifications required for the advanced motor vehicles of the 21st century. In vehicles of today, a hose has to be designed to withstand the stresses of modern, more compact but powerful engines that run hotter and at a higher pressure. Other factors include smaller engine compartments with poor heat dissipation, aggressive coolant additives, and stray (electrochemical) current that may be conducting through the cooling system. In short, the smaller but more powerful engines of today work a lot harder than the larger engines that were standard before. More heat is generated, higher burst pressures are required in cooling system components, and hoses have to be made tougher to withstand these demands. MacKay’s research and development chemists have developed new rubber formulations and manufacturing processes that ensure MacKay hoses meet the greater wear and heat demands created by modern engines. Rubber compounds used in automotive hoses today are predominantly synthetic rubber formulation. All MacKay coolant hoses are made from EPDM compounds that are highly resistant to ozone attack. Hoses made from some other rubber compounds may be subject to ozone deterioration.

Product Features:

• Excellent resistance to high temperatures
• Resists chemical attack (oils, fuels etc.)
• Excellent Ozone resistance
• Good resistance to abrasion
• High resistance to vibration

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.

The Dayco automatic belt tensioner features Dayco’s original, patented flat spring design to provide less operating range variation. It reduces the risk of premature accessory bearing failure due to high tension and lessens the risk of belt noise and slippage or poor performance caused by low tension. A PTFE string wound within the spring resists abrasion and dampens noise. Dayco’s tensioner is also designed with a heavy-duty cast aluminum spring case and arm, which helps resist cracking and fatigue and offers additional strength, lessening the risk of distortion. Additional premium thermoplastic rubber spring slot plugs and rubber O-ring seals help keep contaminants out and zinc coated mounting bolts resist rust.

Product Features:

• Endures the toughest conditions while promoting quieter performance and longer life
• Features a steel pivot tube on specific designs for enhanced stability
• Built to outperform and outlast competitive OE parts
• Rust resistant construction

The INA 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.

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
