HELP! Timing belt tensioner question
I am having someone doing my timing belt right now, and on the timing belt tensioner, the roller (where the t-belt rolls on, on the tensioner) has some play.
Should it have some play (movement side to side) or should it be totally solid and not?

yep, we're replacing the tensioner, water pump and belt...
but the roller on the tensioner seems to have some play, and we wanted to see if that was normal or not. Would hate to install it and find out it's defective and have to do it all over again.

When I got my timing belt done, I was told the roller itself is worthy of replacing ... >>>
...while the assembly is hydrolic and doesn't need replacing at the same interval (60000mi). The roller corresponds to the small round part you highlighted in your pic, while the assembly is the rest of the part in your picture.
