    What timing belt tensioner do you guys use?

    I am currently gathering parts for my timing belt change. What is the difference between these tensioners? What one should I use?



    Thanks
    Matt

          I dunno, I just get the Conti-tech kit that comes with it. never bought belt and tensioner a la carte. I guess if you were going to be super anal about it you'd get one from the dealer, but that seems like a waste of money to me.

            Just used a contitech kit yesterday. The tensioner came in a white box with lime green lettering on it though
