TVS lists both as individual items in the same timing-chain system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I get the automatic tensioner adjuster with this?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The separate adjuster assembly N9011310 is not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the guide included with the timing chain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. This SKU is one guide\/rail component. The timing chain and other related parts are separate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it include the mounting bolt or gasket?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo additional hardware, bolts or gaskets are advertised as included. Confirm the actual packet contents and order required service parts separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs NF321660 the same product?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. NF321660 is catalogued as a kit tensioner and guide cam, with a separate TVS number. Its exact kit contents and interchangeability should be checked rather than assumed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan a damaged timing-chain guide cause engine noise?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt may contribute to abnormal timing-chain noise or wear, but other timing-chain or valve-train faults can cause similar symptoms. A mechanic should diagnose the complete system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill fitting this part automatically fix a rattling engine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Replacement of a correctly diagnosed damaged guide may be appropriate, but there is no guarantee of curing rattles without finding the actual cause.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I install the guide at home?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTiming-chain work requires correct engine timing and mechanical procedures. Professional installation is recommended to avoid severe engine damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this part change engine power or fuel economy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo performance or mileage increase is claimed. It is a replacement component intended to restore proper function when the specified part is defective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is meant by 3X4 lacing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is TVS catalogue terminology attached to N9011600. It must not be used as a general interchangeability specification for other motorcycle models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I identify the correct cam chain tensioner for my Apache?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompare the old component and its part number, plus the exact engine\/production revision, with the appropriate TVS exploded parts catalogue or a chassis-based part lookup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the product include an Under The Hood keychain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Any UTH keychain visible in photography is a prop and not part of the TVS replacement component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy do some websites call N9011600 a cam chain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt least one retailer uses the code N9011600 on a page described as a camchain, but TVS parts catalogues list N9011570 for the actual cam chain and N9011600 for the tensioner-side guide. Follow the catalogue code, not that misleading title.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat if my mechanic has written N9011310 instead?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo not buy N9011600 as a substitute. N9011310 is the separate automatic tensioner adjuster assembly; ask your mechanic which part is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCheck part number before purchase\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a TVS Apache RTR 160 4V or RTR 200 4V timing-chain repair, select N9011600 only if your engine requires the tensioner-side cam-chain guide. If you need a complete camchain, the automatic tensioner adjuster or the opposite guide, use the separate correct part number. UTH recommends confirming the chassis-specific engine parts diagram before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TVS Motor Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52545650819367,"sku":"N9011600","price":239.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0878\/7447\/0183\/files\/library-B49911BA-0A60-4572-BA8D-3E11F7576414-L0-001.jpg?v=1793997945","url":"https:\/\/underthehood.co.in\/products\/tvs-apache-rtr-160-200-4v-cam-timing-chain-tensioner-guide-n9011600","provider":"UNDER THE HOOD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
