I'm driving a 78SC and get the feeling I'm driving a time bomb. But if I get a few miles notice, then I will have a fair chance to defuse it, right?

Razor stop worrying you are definately not driving a time bomb , if your engine is properly maintained the stock tensioners will do their job for miles . I have 144,00 on the clock and when I decide to rebuild I'm not sure that I will fit the later tensioners as thay are not without problems to . At least the non-hydraulic ones are a simple design and there is a lot to be said for that!
