I would look at the new part to see what it really looks like. Have you used synthetic in its entire life? I have, but never looked at my tensioner. I had the tensioner go on my KA24E in my 94 hardbody. You would here this rapping slop sound when the engine was hot on a restart. They used plastic tensioners on those.
Is that tensioner plastic or metal? I wonder if the acids in the oil pitted the metal. a reason to change the oil all the time or use synthetic.
