Is the tensioner that you used, one that has the large preload spring that you refered to in your earlier post? It seems those are all updated tensioners that are designed for the updated tooth style chain. From the checking that I have done in catalogues, it appears that those changes took affect in 2001. Although there have been a couple tensioner updates for earlier models, none of those updated tensioners have the external spring. Since you mention that you have a 2000, is it correct that you used a tensioner that is intended for the 2001-2004 boxsters? Do you have the part number for the tensioner that you used?
