yeah the tensioner is a known issue with ls1's...i personally never had a problem but i know cbrrmike had to replace his not too long ago. waterpumps are a sinch on ls1's though...might wanna consider upgrading to an EWP while your at it...maybe a 160* thermo as well...its a little bit of money but would be well worth it IMHO if yours died...01's you should be able to reuse the stock gaskets as well.
