[QUOTE="Scott Cee, post: 133984, member: 23817"] Also worth talking about is the timing belt tensioners. I bought a LOT of tensioners to find one that fits. I think about 10 of them in the end. My assumption was that there was no way that Bobcat would have had them make one just for them, and I was right. The 89 Colt GT Turbo part wound up being right, potentially the Mirage turbo is too. The one you need is absolutely impossible to find stock for though. Bobcat will still sell you one for some absurd amount of money. I think I paid $7 Canadian ($5 US) for the one that fit in the end. Worth noting is the one for a Clark forklift does not fit, so not all the industrial engines are the same. The common type that doesn't fit is on the left, OEM Bobcat on the right: [ATTACH type="full" alt="20231023_092830.jpg"]6166[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="20231023_092841.jpg"]6167[/ATTACH] The tracing shows how they are different and that you can not bolt the wrong one up: [ATTACH type="full" alt="20231023_103309.jpg"]6169[/ATTACH] You could cut/weld/fab the wrong one to work, but I was looking to avoid that given I believed the right part was out there. It is. Good luck finding one though. [/QUOTE]
