This is a great overall video of not only the tensioner but anything having to do with servicing these wonderful motors. Like in the video, motor oil is used to top off the tensioner. There is a rubber plug that gives access to filling it. The video explains what is acceptable for the tensioner to be at as far as specs to be considered reusable. You'll have to skip forward a bit to find the appropriate sections of information. Hope this helps!

This is the rim for a 2000-2005 Impala or Monte Carlo. It has the same 5x115 lug pattern as the gen 1 wheels and a similiar offset... Does anyone know if these will fit on a 1992 lumina? example: http://i11.ebayimg.com/02/a/05/79/64/1b_1.JPG http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2000-Impala-Chevrolet-LS-Low-Reserve_W0QQitemZ4591591317QQcategoryZ6169QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem This is a similiar rim, but I'm not interested in these. http://i19.ebayimg.com/03/i/05/7f/5f/f4_12.JPG?set_id=1005 The impala type seems to have the entire wheel center being more recessed and the rim lip protrudes out by comparison. which is to ask... will they clear the calipers and not rub the struts... thanks -ken. P.S. I run Olds 98 rims on my CS, I filed the caliper bracket for the 11 rotors slightly to fit. and thats fine by me

go with the 1.5 gen Z34 rim that you posted about...closer fit than the newer 2nd gen 16" rims

95.5-96 style use the same wheel offset as 88-95.

got 97 regal rims to fit my 89, less than 1 more millimeter and they would touch. most people say it cant be done without spacers. Other alt is to go with the 96+ style knuckles ans struts i think.

IIRC, 1st gen wheels have around +35mm offset while 2nd gen wheels have around +52mm. So, a 2nd gen wheel on a 1st gen will sit farther inboard. I can't say for sure if it would hit anything, but I think I remember one or two people here that have used spacers to mount up 2nd gen wheels (z34_nut is one) Here's an old post (with z34_nut's picture): http://www.w-body.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=23172
