Message	My reply was based on the assumption the components were replaced within the last couple of years (approximately 5000 ~7000 miles/year) As Brandon mentioned age of the components will affect the performance and life cycle. As mentioned above I have used the slow bolt turn method to tighten the tensioner and reused my timing belt with approximately 8000 miles on the rebuild I could see the timing marks on the belt at this interval. Good luck!!
