that durned hydraulic tensioner

[Joe Elliott <jee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think I've decided to go ahead and revert to the hydraulic 
tensioner on my '82 GTV-6.  That is if I get the tensioner rebuilt by 
this weekend...

I've got a Milano shop manual, and the relevant pages copied out of 
an Alfa Sei shop manual,they both show parts of the tensioner that 
the other doesn't.  What's the deal?  Can anyone tell me where 
everything in a tensioner kit goes?  Especially what exactly goes on 
the shaft?  The Milano manual's description gives circlip, washer, 
"rubber," boot, which seems to make sense, but the Alfa 6 manual 
refers to stuff under the boot, and my rebuild kit from EB Spares 
includes 3 circlips, two of which are smaller than the other.  That 
kit also includes one o-ring which is tan in color rather than black. 
I assume that there must be some kind of o-ring on the back of the 
tensioner body to make the oil return not leak, but I don't think 
either manual refers to that.  Is there any kind of internet 
reference that actually explains this thing?  I took it apart a 
couple years ago so "assembly is reverse of disassembly" ain't going 
to cut it in this case.

Thanks in advance,
Joe Elliott
