    The Common Parts thread has the part number etc.

    Procedure to put them in .. lube o-rings with vasoline or oil. Put them in the tensioner and slide it into place. Start the three bolts holding it to the head and as you tighten these, Wiggle the upper elbow. Ensure that once you have tightened the tensioner fully the elbow is square to the motor and still can wiggle a little.

    I've only had one leak (pre that procedure) and never had issues. Maybe I'm good, but my girl might tell you otherwise...lol
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
