Anybody using the IE manual tensioner?

If so, worth it? Ordering up a T-belt kit tonight and need to know if people think it's worth the extra 16,672 Japanese Yen

Nobody?

I'd stick with stock.

I'd move to manual. Just make sure you tension it correctly. The manual roller is much less prone to failure than the hydro mechanism.

What's the adjustment interval?

What's the adjustment interval?

That's the thing, there isn't one. It's really up to the tech to adjust it correctly. Too tight, or too loose and the consequences can be severe. I have lots of experience with old 8v and 16v engines. So for me it's no big deal. But without knowing your mechanical abilities, I would not recommend it.

$200 for a manual tensioner?
