My dealer uses the EF ones. What about for the FG? Anyone?

I'll have to look into part numbers/ suppliers for a steel or alloy one for the FG when I can. That is what I was asking if anyone has gotten one.

Seen the NULINE ones on eBay, are they meant to be any good?

I wonder what it would cost to get a batch cnc'd up with a circlip groove for bearing replacement?

Ninka Donating Members 1,850 Member For: 22y 4m 24d Gender: Male Location: Perth, WA Posted 07/05/12 01:08 AM Share Posted 07/05/12 01:08 AM Well, I had an Atomic metal (aluminium) tensioner idler pulley until last Friday, when I noticed a nasty knocking noise from the front of my engine. On inspection, the serpentine belt was rubbing against the tensioner arm, and it was clear that the pulley was out of alignment, so I pulled the tensioner assembly off and found play in what I initially thought was the bearing. On closer inspection, the bearing was fine, but what had happened was that over time, the bearing, being hardened steel had 'massaged' the aluminium in such a way that the depth of the bore for the bearing had increased and the circumference of the bore in the aluminium had also increased on the side away from the bearing retainer circlip, which allowed the idler roller to wobble around, and also caused misalignment for the belt, causing it to rub. Fortunately I had a spare plastic pulley, but will look at replacing with metal again.Just goes to show, regular service and inspection is necessary, as nothing lasts forever.
