I confirmed that the provided spacer is .390 from the back face to where the step is where the bearing rides, I put a straight edge across the back mounting point of each tensioner and this is the result. I could not get an accurate measurement of the gap difference as the edge of the pulley is too narrow but there is a variance of about .025 - .030 from what I could measure with clay at the widest point.Many have run this tensioner now including plenty here. This tensioner has dual angular bearings so it has no slop from side to side, it travels true. Therefore if it jumps forward, something is off in alignment. If the spacer is .390" and pulley is not damaged in some way (bearing movement, etc), then I would suggest putting a washer or .070" spacer between the SC inlet and idler plate where they tie together. This would space the top of the idler plate out at the top and change the angle. This has worked on a few with the old tensioner that did the same thing.
