THAT is what I do NOT have. So, the tensioners are more durable than I gave them credit for. Good to know.

Heh. I have the Cloyes tensioner and a Cloyes dual roller timing chain set in it now.
HOPEFULLY I won't have any problem out of it as it hits another 100,000+ miles.
But yah.
Do understand, though - an anecdote is NOT data; it is at best a datum.

7yrs and 60k ago i put the cloyes double roller with no tensioner. still runs like a champ. well except for the fluttering oil pressure needle but i think its nothing more than a sending unit gone bad. new one should be here in a couple days
