Show original supplier description
The Honda Genuine 13450-RAA-A02 is a Hydraulic Oil Pump Chain Tensioner, engineered as a direct OEM replacement for Honda's K-series engines. This genuine Honda part is cast and machined to the manufacturer's exacting production tolerances, ensuring a precise fit and reliable performance. Designed specifically for the oil pump drive chain (not the timing chain), this tensioner is compatible with K20 and K24 engine families, including specific engine codes such as K20A, K20A2, K20A3, K20Z1, K20Z2, K20Z3, K24A, K24A1, K24A2, and K24Z1. It is suitable for 2.0L (K20) and 2.4L (K24) engine displacements and holds up in boosted applications with higher oil temperatures. Installation is straightforward, with an estimated DIY time of 60-90 minutes. No additional hardware is required, as it reuses OEM bolts and seals. Crucially, this tensioner requires zero cutting, tapping, or tuning, making it a direct swap. It is compatible with turbo and supercharged K-series applications. This tensioner directly replaces previous revisions, including part number 13450-RAA-A01. It is designed for a wide range of Honda and Acura vehicles from 2002 to 2011, including specific models like the Acura RSX, TSX, CSX Type-S, Honda Accord, Civic Si, CR-V, and Element. Always consult the detailed fitment table for year-by-year breakdown by trim and engine code to ensure compatibility.
