Is it okay to re use the same tensioner for my timing? I ordered a kit and the new tensioner won't fit :/

Hm. What years is your kit supposed to fit? I know to get a better tensioner, you should be able to use a 2004 one. Might look into that. I wouldn't reuse it.

Its a 2000 kit from gate. The tensioner has a screw that goes into the old one and the new tenionser doesn't have any place for a screw.

That's really interesting. Maybe give Gates a call real quick and see what they say? Maybe give them the part number too. I got a Gates kit as well and mine was perfect.
