Are these interchangeable?

My motor was built by someone else and they used MD308086.
I'm about to replace it and would like to know if it makes a difference?
If not, I'll just stick with what's in there now.

Says on the website the build dates. They are different.

Yeah that's the problem. I have no idea what the build date of the motor I have is.... it was swapped in.

Who did the swap? Is there an issue with your tensioner? Do you have your motor out?

The motor was built by a party I don't want to name. I'm replacing the timing belt so I'd like to do the tensioner preemptively.

Makes sense.
I would stick with the same tensioner that is in it. The one tensioner was only for 3 months in 95, would say you are safer going with the same one you have in it.

They are way physically different

Distance between the bolt holes looks different.

Use what you have if possible

Or look at the serial number on your block to determine which is the correct one.[DOUBLEPOST=1412174595][/DOUBLEPOST]Crazy idea no?
