I am adding up the cost of repairing the blown head on my recent purchase of a 1995 850 na and wondering if I really need to spend $200 more to replace the Tbelt tension and idler rollers.

The old ones look good. They don't spin like a skateboard wheel but turn smoothly with no binding or wobble.

How can I tell if these rollers are ok for another 70K?

    The tensioner is usually good for 180K+ miles. The tensioner roller should roll without binding or wobble, it must feel smooth rolling with out 'hard' spots.

    Check the roller for the Sbelt also.

    Take off the oil separator box and check the hole through the block, it should be round and clean, ream off any residue on the bottom half. You could 'clean' the plastic housing in kerosene if you think there is sludge inside, or get a replacement. I would replace the 2 hoses for the oil separator while it is easy to do.
