Timing Belt Hydraulic Tensioner — 1HZ / 1HD-T / 1HD-FT / 1HD-FTE, Land Cruiser 70, 80, 100 & 105 Series (1999+) (13540-17011)

Hydraulic timing-belt tensioner (auto-tensioner) for the Toyota 1HZ with the late hydraulic system, and the 1HD-T / 1HD-FT / 1HD-FTE — Toyota part #13540-17011 (interchanges with 13540-67020).

The oil-filled damper pushes the tensioner pulley against the timing belt and holds belt tension constant as the engine heats and the belt wears. A tensioner that leaks oil, or whose rod pushes back in easily, lets the belt jump teeth. On these interference engines that means bent valves, so replace it with every belt.
