have you looked at the aftermarket tensioners?
which aftermarket tensioner? do you have the link?
Skunk 2 sells one...
Think he was talking about the belt tensioner, not the timing chain kind sir.Quote:

do you know anyone has a modded auto-tensioner for sale?
the auto-tensioner has like a washer or something, the manual one i have no clue. gamma pulled one out but it didn't sit inline with the other pulleys. if u have access to a sawzall or angle grinder you can just make one yourself.
I'd be willing to trade my modded auto-tensioner for a stock one.Quote:

If I buy the kit brand new does it coem with an auto tensioner or just with a manual one and if it just come with the manual tensioner where would I buy an auto one?
Why doesn't someone ban this guy. It's an obvious spambot.Quote:
