Re: Tensioner Assembly Removal for SII 3800 Engine and Bypass Elbows '99 and Up

Anybody have any experience with the new Dorman aluminum elbows, p/n 47065HP? Looks like www.rockauto.com is the only place to get them currently.

I'm thinking of getting these and using the GM o-rings, hopefully it'll be the LAST time I do this.

Thanks for letting us know about these.

Since mine lasted 150,000 miles plus, and another one thousands without any problems, I'll stick with the stock ones. I would use them if I was redoing it tho.
When I took mine out to do the rebuild, seems like it would be hard to get them out if they didn't break, since they break because they can't come out at the angle there in at.

Chris.
