If you run a search for 1991 corvette belt tensioner a few new tensioners do pop up. Non Dayco though...

Thanks. I guess it's possible the non-Dayco tensioner would have the parts needed to rebuild the stock Dayco tensioner.

If I buy one and try it I'll come back here and post results.

I found on RockAuto AC Delco 10055897 for the L98. Same internals, correct pulley and also had the aluminum cover which was good for me because my original cover chipped when using a puller to remove it.

Didn’t suspect anything wrong with my original at 41k miles, but since I had the radiator and fans out, figured it was worth it. Took mine apart to find that the wear plate under the cover was completely gone, only the little tabs left. Also the spring was a little weak, I could operate the tensioner by hand. Swapped over new parts following this thread. Good as new!

Looks like Dave hasn't been on in a few months. I hope all is ok with him. Anyone know him in the outside world?
