Thanks, I’ll head over and make a deal then. Also slightly confused, is the tensioner issue still a thing with the 13s? There seems to be conflicting statements around the web.

Early production engines for 2013 model year may have the undesired tensioner. I dont think anyone knows the exact date but its something like 2012 production = bad, 2013 production = good. There is a sticker on the timing chain cover (or thereabouts) that tells you the engine production date.
