I'll replace ALL of the tensioner parts if I'm going to be in there
Good idea, really. I've had failures of _all_ those parts at one
time or another, and on only two cars! The rocking bearing, though
stout, really takes a beating and doesn't hold up well. The spring
can break. The shock

And the proper belt. Check the tensioner arm to make sure that it's
pivot bearing isn't shot -- that's what has gone out first on both of
my 60x engines ---

belt to slip enough to overheat?
