Re: Rebuilding The LT5 Tensioner
That's wonderful Secondchance. I'm very glad the information Was helpful. If you need the artical Mark and I did on the news letter that can be found on the members only section of the registry website. It brings me great joy to know that it has been helpful and please post about your progress if you can. Nice thing about those L98 Dayco tenioners is that they come with the good pully with the guilds on the sides instead of the smooth one.

Re: Rebuilding The LT5 Tensioner
FYI, after an evening of Googling I have not been able to locate a Dayco 89298 (L98 tensioner for rebuild parts).
Well, I did get a few hits for places saying it can be drop shipped but expected delivery is two months away. Maybe I'll contact Marc or Jerry tomorrow to see if either has one or leads. |

Re: Rebuilding The LT5 Tensioner
If you run a search for 1991 corvette belt tensioner a few new tensioners do pop up. Non Dayco though...

Re: Rebuilding The LT5 Tensioner
I found on RockAuto AC Delco 10055897 for the L98 (Discontinued as of 01/24/25). 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!
