968? Chain Tensioner?

[lax944]

I've been reading some of these posts regarding the S and S2.
The issue of the chain tensioner in the S & S2 engines.... does the 968 have the same tensioner that needs replacement??

Thanks.

It doesn't seem to give much trouble in the 968, but there is a tensioner that should be inspected regularly. Also on early cars always carefull inspect the lower timing belt tensioner pivot when replacing the belt. The balance shaft belt needs special attention when adjusting to avoid breakage after a while.
