from the horses mouth: It has been in testing for more than a year in Canada where the tensioner system is produced. I have a "sell sheet" that shows some graphs regarding 'tight-side belt tension' comparisons between the mechanical and the hydraulic systems and the results tend to lean toward the mechanical tensioner being better for the belt and the engine from low to high RPM. (I think they are trying to point out that the hydraulic system actually loads the timing belt way too hard at higher RPM which will probably reduce belt life) I hope to have a scan of this information available soon.


That's really interesting! I've used that parts dinosaur guy for the pulleys, he's awesome for customer support and getting your stuff out quickly. Keep us updated on how the mechanical tensioner works for you.

Hmmm, it seems to me that using a mechanical tensioner means that it will be the only tensioner you will ever have to buy again, as it will not wear out like a hydrolic kind.
