<p>An integrated chain tensioner having a tensioner arm (12, 112) that includes a first side (16, 116), a second side (18, 118), a first end (20, 120), and a second end (22, 122). The tensioner arm (12, 112) also includes a fluid reservoir (24, 124) defined by at least a portion of the first side (16, 116), the second side (18, 118), the first end (20, 120), and the second end (22, 122). Further, a pivot bore (26, 126) is disposed in the first end (20, 120) and a tensioner bore (30, 130) is disposed in the first side (16, 116) of the tensioner arm (12, 112). A hydraulic tensioner (14, 114) is disposed in the tensioner bore (30, 130) such that the hydraulic tensioner (14, 114) is in communication with the reservoir (24, 124). <IMAGE></p> |
