67739, Different Tensioners?
Posted by thegame, Feb-03-04 03:06 AM
Are the 95-99 tensioners all the same? Trying to order one from Bob Kise, and theres different numbers from the 95-97 to 98-99. We both think there all the same, but his computer says differently. Just wanted to make sure. (michael97rs? says the same also)

they should be the same. its probably just a superceeding number or something, maybe a little different slot for the bolts or something but they havent changed any designs so it should work just fine

i have a 97 block with half 96/97 sensors, 97-99 tensioner, bracket, 99 tensioner, etc...lol. they all work fine. the tensioner pulley is no big deal and im 99% sure they didnt change it.

I used a spring and a clothes pin for mine and it works fine............. haha just playing, yeah they are the same, I have one on my 95 eclipse from a 99 when I ordered it. I dont believe there is any difference at all w/ it, but it looks shinier.... peace

95sohc is same as 95 dohc is same as 99 dohc... they're all the same size.

It's possible the newer version has an internal improvement or something.

ok, just checking. i believe bob told me that the 98-99 one on his computer came as a package with some other things included. but he was trying to keep the cost down, so he wanted me to make sure. thanks guys.

Yeah, they have to be the same. I'm another random mix of engine parts, with a 97' head on my 95' block, in my 98' talon. I bought the tensioner specifying my 98' talon. It's all a perfect match.
