When I changed my belts a couple months ago I compared
the old tensioner to the new one.  The old one had
about half the strength in the spring as the new one. 
I was convinced.

A good friend's engine was wrecked by a tensioner
failure.  New pistons, new head and you better believe
a new tensioner after that.
