while searching for a timing belt tensioner i found that the NSK surely looked cheapest at about $137. i'm wondering if that's a bad thing... i think the OEM was around $180 last time i checked. i definately need to get one soon!

 

get the nsk if yo uwant your timing belt to jump and you need a new motor.. otherwise, get an OEM....

 

you are confusing the hell out of me. in your first tensioner thread, youre talking about replacing it while your heads are off getting rebuilt. then, a month later, you talk about your engine making noise with the rebuilt heads after 1500 miles. and now youre asking about the tensioner again....im just going to stop here

 

haha no my trouble before was that the timing belt was the only thing that i couldn't afford to replace. but i'm doing it now. yea, sounds like OEM is again the way to go
