Cam chain tensioner.

royhall:
Can someone in the know have a quick look at these pictures and say if this tensioner blade is shot or re-usable. I think it's past it's best? Also, are the aftermarket tensioners any good or am I best with genuine. Thanks in advance.

Bryanj:
As long as the rubber is not peeling off at the ends that is fine, a new one will look like that in a few 1000 as the chain side plates wear into the rubber till the rollers touch

royhall:
Thanks Bryan. Looks fine except for the grooves. Will reuse it then.

exvalvesetdabbler:
The shop manual p77 gives 4mm new and 3.0mm service limit measured in the center for the tensioner
