Replace tensioner pulley too - and maybe replace entire tensioner w. pulley. Use Dayco/Ina tensioner. The complete tensioner and pulley from Rock Auto costs as much as the pulley alone from some other sources.
I caught an old tensioner getting sloppy on its pivot, which let the pulley touch the timing cover - you can guess what that would have eventually done. I also once received a non-Dayco, more expensive brand new tensioner that had that kind of out-of-plane slop at the spring pivot. I returned it and got a Dayco (the OEM manufacturer).
Good luck,
Mark in Marine
