Thanks for all the feedback! This is what is so great about the 911 DIY world (which I have been out of for a while since selling my last 911) - you post a question, and one day later you've got 5 solid replies. I owned a 325is for a while, and I'd post on related boards there and wait for a reply...and wait, and wait, and wait.

Anyway, thanks. I'm going to do my own PPI, and I'll probably do my own work on the tensioners, if I do anything. I'm not sure I would recognize the early signs of tensioner failure - any way to describe the early warning signs?
