Your post was funnier before you corrected the mispieling in the title. (wore vs ***** for those arriving late)

FWIW, one of my tensioners was cracked at 30K. Gear drives worked for me, too, although there is apparently a potential problem with crank runout on the TC96's that negate the use of gear drives.
