When installed, there was Zero clearance between the tensioner and idler.

When I pushed on the right idler by hand, I was able to move it about 1/8", then it would return to normal.

Shall I interpet that significan force, means that I cannot push the idler in by hand at all?

Anyone have a set of calipers and a new style idler arm handy?

I sure could use the widths of the flanges that go around the shaft to determine if I have the old or new ones.

I have the tensioners out on the bench now (with pins in). I'll chock it up in the vise and see what I have.

I seem to remember reading somewhere about sticking check vavles in the tensionsers, but, I can't seem to find the post. I think the tensioners releived @ 14psi.
