depending upon when you 96 was made (early vs late), you may have the old style tensioner (shown in picture on left); new style isn't really compatible with old setup (you're supposed to change the guide also (big job). if i had old style, i'd look for new rubber o-ring, maybe new spring (both under piston), make gasket myself and put back on; if you have new style, get new tensioner (beck arnley was good for/to me) and either buy/make asket & put on. i made gasket from 1/32" gasket material.
