This spring I'm going to be replacing the idler pulleys and tensioner on my KB-blown 2V. I haven't had any issues except a little bit of a squeaking noise so this is more of a preventive maintenance thing. The car is 9+ years old now and all these parts are original...
I've been looking around at replacements and am wondering what others are using, especially those with a KB. I don't think I need a "HD" tensioner, for instance, but want good quality and reliability.
Anyone running LRS parts? Their LRS-6B209D tensioner? Their LRS-8678C smooth- and LRS-8678B grooved-idlers? Are these at least OE quality?
Or are these items simply best obtained from Ford (do they even make them anymore?)
