So I bought a 1997 GST with no previous information about the car. I am currently doing a timing belt change and have some questions and concerns maybe you guys can help me out here.
This is my first DSM and first time working on one.
So I've taken everything off that I plan on replacing but I've noticed a few things. My confusion is this, the hydraulic tensioner that came off the car is a Hyundai one and the new replacement one I purchased from Extreme PSI for the car looks different from the one I took off. I'm asking if maybe the engine has been swapped to something else and isn't the 2g 7bolt or maybe the Hyundai one just also works with engine? The timing belt tensioner pulley also doesn't seem to match the replacement, the bearing around the face looks different but seems to be the same size.
I'll post some pictures with a side by side comparison. Any information will help thank you.
