I have a couple quick Qs about the LSJ tensioner. Mine is starting to make noise and chirping. When I looked it over the entire bracket is kinda angled like the torx bolt that holds the bracket to the head isn't tight enough. So it looks like the whole assembly needs replaced.

I'm still 100% stock and I was going to just go buy a new tensioner but I wanted to put my 2.8 pulley on finally. So I know that requires either the stage2 belt or the oversized pulley. Would it be easier to just buy the short belt and get a new stock tensioner? I hear pros and cons about the belts and oversized pulley. It's been a while so I was curious what the latest and greatest theory is. All suggestions are appreciated!

I would go with the shorter belt.

the tensioner is not cheap by itself. It chirps because the belt doesnt like running on pullies out of line.
CED.com for the complete tensioner, short belt like mentioned if you pulley down. Golden.

You guys weren't kidding on the price. $165 ouch! The price for tensioners on every car I've owned has been between 160-200. Apparently they are made out of gold and platinum heh. I see they have a decent price on the S2 belt as well, mise well pick up one of those.
