Re: Rebuilding The LT5 Tensioner
Just finished up rebuilding my tensioner with help of these instructions and all went well. Thanks again David for posting this up for the benefit of the Brotherhood.

Re: Rebuilding The LT5 Tensioner
Craig thank you so much that means a lot. I just see in the future of our cars a lot of very scarce parts. And I'm use to repairing abnormal or very rare parts, right now I'm dissecting a secondary actuator to see what we can do about that when they become scarce. Thank you again for the kind words.
Dave

Re: Rebuilding The LT5 Tensioner
There are so many smart folks like you in the Registry that help to keep this dream alive. I can only imagine the time it took you do document this and take all the photos so it is greatly appreciated. There are a lot more secrets out there, but not are all being shared like you took the time to do. I wish I could contribute like this and maybe one day a light bulb will turn on for me. Thanks again!!
Craig

Re: Rebuilding The LT5 Tensioner
How many miles did you have on it? Was it done? Or are you just re-working it?
Good idea on the remote cam too - now I need one with 'fingers'... |

Re: Rebuilding The LT5 Tensioner
Thanks Dave! I need a replacement tensioner and was ready to spend $138. Phil reminded me of this thread yesterday at the WAZOO get together and since WAZOO have all sorts of old parts inventory (Capt. Jim unlike me saves all worn-out parts), ordered two Dayco L98 tensioners for $79 including shipping. Soon we will have 2 new, fresh tensioners. What a resourceful bunch!!!
