Camshaft To Tensioner Oil Line, Right.

Ensure proper oil supply to your timing chain tensioner with this oil line for the right-hand side. Designed for Porsche 911 models (1978-89) and Porsche 964 Turbo 3.3L (1991-93), this line delivers pressurised oil from the camshaft feed to the chain tensioner unit, maintaining correct chain tension and timing accuracy.

Fits:

• Porsche 911 1978-1983 3.0L / SC
• Porsche 911 1984-1986 3.2L
• Porsche 911 1987-1989 3.2L G50
• Porsche 964 (911) TURBO 3.3L 1991-93

What This Product Does:

The oil line delivers oil at pressure to the timing chain tensioner assembly (or chain guide/tensioner unit) on the right-hand side of the engine, ensuring the timing chain remains properly tensioned and lubricated.

By maintaining correct oil flow, the tensioner can adjust chain slack, reduce vibration, ensure timing accuracy, and avoid premature wear.

Because of the high-stress environment (heat, vibration, chain loads), the line must be in good condition, correctly fitted, and leak-free to maintain timing system health.

Symptoms & Signs You May Need Replacement:

Oil leakage around the line, its fittings, or in the timing cover area, especially on the right-side chain housing. Since this is an oil line under pressure, any seepage or wetness is a warning.

Low oil pressure or warning light tied to the tensioner circuit; if the tensioner isn’t getting oil it may cause slack in the chain and abnormal noise.

Timing chain noise: rattling, clatter or slapping chains on the right side (chain tensioner unable to maintain correct tension because oil feed is blocked or leaking).

During engine rebuild or timing cover removal: If you’re servicing the timing system, and the oil line is original or worn, it’s wise to replace it while accessible.

Why Replacement Matters:

Crucial for timing chain health: The tensioner system’s performance relies on this oil feed line; failure can lead to chain stretch/jump, catastrophic timing issues or engine damage.

Maintains engine reliability: A faulty oil line might cause oil starvation or reduction in tensioner performance, which in a high-revving flat-six engine can lead to expensive damage.

Ease during service: During engine or timing chain work, replacing this line avoids returning later for failure. Since access requires removal of timing covers or partial engine disassembly, proactive replacement is cost-effective.
