Hydraulic tensioner are a lot less prone to failure than mechanical ones, hence the reason we created that kit. |
I see what you are looking at, but i think that circular metal region behind the pulley is part of the engine block and not the mechanical tensioner. I can see what looks to be the black bushing at the end of the hydraulic piston in the photos behind the pulley. However your photo of the Mechanical one makes me think that empty bolt hole was to fasten the mechanical tensioner, but may not be used if you have hydraulic? Has anyone ever done a mechanical to hydraulic tensioner swap and seen this missing bolt hole?
Thanks.
