Re: Tensioner Assembly Removal for SII 3800 Engine

I agree, a new tensioner is the best solution and if he puts JB Weld on the threads, it would be mandatory. Of course, the tensioner pulley has a lot of pressure on it and before he could drive it, the JB Weld will need to cure at least 24-hrs in order to hold it in place. IIRC, a new tensioner should come with a new pulley & bolt, if not, he will need to purchase them individually.
