A cam chain tensioner tensions the cam chain. Basically it's a spring loaded plunger that applies pressure to the chain to keep it tight.

The name really say a lot about what it does... lol

the tensioner pushes on the chain guide which keeps tension.

To increasingly become worn and become progressively louder over time, in such a way that you eventually break down from the constant and unbearable noise and replace the spring tensioner with an APE, fixed tensioner.
