The only time I have replaced a tensioner on these engine is after they have been stood a long time. I've had engines with over 400,000 miles on them still with the original tensioner bearing

That was the ultimate quality .. the 850 tensioner has a heavy duty needle bearing on the main cast iron pivot .. no pressed steel anywhere .
