recently tried the GT tensioner, but the sliding bolts at the back caught on the casing, and couldnt loctite the main bolts in position at the beginning. But a good value piece of kit... Jockeys Boxenstop pull down tensioner has to be my favourite though; although if you are using a slightly longer chain than expected you may have a bother trying to tighten the top bolt....

I used these from AF in a lot of engines, always thought they were good value.

I agree with Dan on this, these are simple , uncomplicated , i remove the 2 screws and loctite in for safe measure , ive now been using for a few years in my own sprint and tuned motors.

The expensive one is the LTH version, the cheaper one is the AF copy. I use the AF copy.

Order a drive side plate screw with it for fitting.
