Yes, as I mentioned the Group A racers used the original tensioner. A friend of mine has such a car with a dynoed 2.5 engine to 250 Hp. At some point we will take out the engine and I will make a photo for you R.J.

Nice that you chimed in Jim K.

Since the Mahle pistons were mentioned, another friend installed a set of these. Original Gr. A pistons, very nice product! I include a couple photos.

I have nothing against fixed tensioners, as I know them from other engines. like the Fiat TC. However they have their shortcomings as they donīt take up slack automatically. On a racer its no problem since the belt is frequently changed.
