i figured out the chain tensioner guide was revised for the s15 all around better
tensioner--070-2J203
o-ring--069-53J00
gasket--13079-2J200

new chain guide--085-1N500

nissan part zone.com has good prices

What Sileighty said pretty much sums up the revision differences.

I figured out the chain tensioner guide was revised for the s15 and is all around better

How is this? Please share.

Nothing new here...


You were referring to the tensioner its self and not the guides. The later generation s13 black tops saw this revised tensioner but it was not until the S14 motor when the guides were revised. If you source a replacement tensioner in the US it will likely be the second generation as people don't typically carry the older style.

There is no difference in mounting between the newer and old style guides. Same block casting.

and thank you for clearing that up for me

[s14unimog]

If you don't have the hardware from your original guides then ya. Otherwise they're the same.
