Just don't overtighten the manual tensioner! It's easy to do and ends in tears.

But use a new oem tensioner, i like the oem more than the manual for most applications , but all out race engines with high engine acceleration rates, high spring rates and big cams may be better off with the manual.
Poor little ratchet gets a flogging in those circumstances and first sign of a problem could be big
