Agreed. I was under the impression that the new tensioner assembly **was supposed to be replaced** every 60k.
Given the $2000-$3000+ cost of damaged valves, I am thinking about replacing the entire timing belt "kit" w/tensioner pulley assembly every 30,000mi. Conservative and probably wasteful since the kit costs $380 compared to about $50 for just the belt. But if I do this 2-3 "extra" times when it's not required, it's still less than the cost of one valve job! (I also have the tools and experience to do the job at home.)
