I have a 99 EJ25 SOHC from a Forster, can I use the old style T Belt Tensioner on it if I switch over the mounting block?

 

Thanks, Larry

Sure can. Just did that for a friend's '98 OBS. Just use the bracket from a '97 or older.

 

Don't know why they went to the new style tensioner. The older style was bulletproof and easier to compress. All the new style's I've seen leak and I wouldn't reuse one nor would I attempt to compress one. I just buy a new one most of the time unless it's a special request to swap back to the older school one.
