RSR tensioner
Nothing special about the tensioner.The cam nut was smaller & lighter.The spur gears on the intermediate shaft,chain idlers & cam gears were a lightweight alloy.Ciao Fred

As Fred has stated, Factory competition engines ran production tensioners and are listed in the parts manuals. The "Mechanical" tensioners are privateer installed.
