WTB PorKen Tensioner Bracket
Hi All:
I pulled the front of my engine down last night after an intermittent timing belt light. The belt is still within the tension spec and everythng actually looks good....except that the tensioner has leaked most of the oil out and I am getting tired of rebuilding it.
I know that Ken plans to make a new run of tensioner brackets soon, but I'm looking for one to purchase now so that I can get my car back together and make the next track event that I have scheduled for October 11, 2007.
If someone has a bracket available and just hasn't gotten to their project yet, I'd like to purchase your bracket directly or pay for shipping charges and your inconvenience and have Ken send you a replacement out of the next batch. Whatever works for you.
Please PM me if you can help. I need a 1985 bracket without air pump.
Thanks all.
Ken B.

Sorry Ken............I'm using mine.
As well as the bracket you need the pulley, lever and tensioner as well as hardware. You should gather all the parts with a new belt. The waterpump is also a consideration depending on when last changed and/or the desire to do the work again should it fail in the near future.

Check to make sure you have that little circlip on the back of the big roller. My tension light was doing that too....and it was in tension...but the tracking was slightly off on the passenger cam.. Ended up doing a new crank gear and adding the circlip..that keeps that roller in the proper alignment. Of course..after all that..I too will switch to the Porkensioner as soon as he starts another run...
Good Luck

Ken,
FWIW -- I have one of the S4 brackets that PorKen made but later said "wait" the spacing is off or ?
he called them the paper weight brackets and replaced it with the final version. Anyway your welcome
to take mine N/C and modify it to fit your mtr, then when his next batch comes out you could swap it out.
It might help to get you back on the road sooner . You could check with Porken to see if it's do-able ?
