That is some great information right there provided by David Hetrick (mgbrv8)

After the Belt Tensioner is rebuilt one can then consider the Billet Aluminum Ultra Light Belt Tensioner Pulley replacing the original black pulley.

This Belt Tensioner Pulley will fit the ZR-1 (LT5) as well as a standard C4 with L98 engine.
