Are they stock SC tensioners? Have they ever been rebuilt? How many miles on the motor? Do you have those "chain saver" collars installed?

This is what I found in one of my tensioners last weekend. I did not have a failure I was just going to renew the seals because of age. It looks like something may have happened soon. A little concerning, I wonder if this had been the updated pressure fed style if that metal may have been in the motor.
