Keep your high-revving K-Series alive with this genuine Honda K20/K24 Oil Chain Tensioner 13450-RAA-A02. Engineered by Honda to the same exacting standards as your factory components, this hydraulic tensioner maintains the perfect preload on the oil pump chain, preventing slack that can starve bearings at VTEC shift-points or during aggressive track sessions.

Features

• Factory reliability – Cast and machined to Honda’s OE tolerances for flawless fit on every 2.0L or 2.4L K-Series block—no guessing with aftermarket clearances.
• Quiet, precise operation – Correct chain tension eliminates rattle on cold starts and keeps your oil pump synchronized at 8,000+ rpm.
• Built for longevity – Hardened plunger and premium internal seals resist heat soak, extended oil-change intervals, and the abuse of turbo or supercharged setups.
• Plug-and-play for popular chassis – Direct replacement on 2002-2006 RSX Type-S, 2004-2008 TSX, 2007-2010 CSX Type-S, 2003-2007 Accord K24, 2002-2011 Civic Si, 2002-2009 CR-V, and 2003-2011 Element. Ideal for engine swaps, too.

Track day, daily commute, or boosted street build—protect the heartbeat of your K20/K24 with the only tensioner Honda engineers intended.
