1999 timing tensioner
I'm doing the timing belt on my 1999 TL. I purchased the TKH-011 kit, which comes with the standard tensioner design I'm used to for Honda/Acura V6s. I've discovered that the 1999, unlike later TLs, comes with a slightly different tensioner. The physical dimensions between the mounting points and the pin tip seem the same. Can I use the normal/later tensioner on the 1999, or do I need to find the weird tensioner?

The typical tensioner does not seem listed on rock auto so i would err on the side of caution

Was RA the source of your procured TKH011 TB kit?
