Tony Callas mentioned periodic replacement of the tensioner to the IMS with a serious warning not to neglect this item. I mentioned this to my Indy and he said they replace those with IMSB retrofit or at least inspect them as SOP. You were probably thinking about the thread discussing best maintenance practices for m97 engines which he raised in the recent Excellence Magazine article but Tony's advice on the tensioners applied to all IMS engines or at least the m96.
Well thats my recollection.
