    What the heck is this part?

    It's embarrassing to ask but what the heck is this thing? I noticed the oil leak and went looking through the part-finder for a gasket but can't seem to figure out what it is. It's right below the intake boots off the back of the engine.

    Timing chain tensioner. It has a gasket plus some internal seals. Others will be more familiar then I am about it. Theres a procedure for removal and re installation.

          Cam Chain tensioner which has multiple parts you'll need and are hard to find separately. Brian Wringer's website has a tutorial with a lot of information you will need. You can access it from Basscliff's page and at this link - http://www.bwringer.com/gs/camchaintens.html

            Thanks, cowboy. Praise God, Brian had a part list. You've got to wonder how suzuki dropped the ball and didnt include those on the microfiches.

              I have no idea what you are talking about.

              Kinda looks like parts #18, 20 and 22.

                  #18 is just a washer. The fiche on most models is missing 10mm seal around the pushrod as well as the o-ring around the setscrew (the setscrew is #17).

                  My tutorial has the correct part numbers.
