[arthursc2]

whats the problem w/ after market tensioners?

[phat95nosdsc2]

they like to fail, then you loose oil pressure, then you toast a motor for a savings of about 20 bucks........

[arthursc2]

yeah, so i am just gonna get that kit, and a new tensioner from saturn.

[phat95nosdsc2]

good man...all the rest of the stuff seems to be OK, but the tensioner seems to be a problem

[arthursc2]

yeah, i def dont want to risk my motor by cheaping out.

B4 you get a tensioner look over on SDA's site i think they sell that stuff seperate now. it may be cheeper.

EDIT* They are cheeper...you can get a tensioner for 22 and shipping.

Aftermarket tensioners also have a tendency to not put enough pressure on the swingable guide due to the oil hole being too small. SO under high rpm, you could jump a tooff or other bad stuffseses.
