WOW not much left of the teeth! How many Kms were on your engine?
Rob...I'm pretty sure I know what You're referring to ,when You say that,but...that tensioner has no teeth...it's supposed to be true round,and no divets what-so-ever.(soft rubber)
I remember when I had Mine in My hand...I thought the same thing until I looked into it.They get chewed up over time,and miles...pretty deceiving for sure.
Here's a pic of a new one...and what it's SUPPOSED to look like...
(When I replaced Mine,I was shocked at how hard the rubber had gotten,compared to the new one((thanks Jeff))...You could almost pick pieces off of it with Your fingernail,it was so brittle)
