I've just installed the tensioner on my new 410 sb, using a ProGear Hughes timing chain setup (that shouldn't make any difference). Looking at the front of the engine, I observed the lower left corner of the tensioner was making contact with the installed SLINGER PLATE! So, I carefully masked and ground away some extra clearance at the area ... using a Dremel tool and small grinder.. ground away about 1/8" from lower corner of the tensioner so that it clears the SLINGER... if it wasn't ground for the clearance, then the SLINGER would've been at a slight angle when the balancer would press against it... not good.
