So orginally the timing belt was too tight, this was due to tensioner being for a second gen, which is not interchangeable. so im debating on using the oem tensioner, looks to be in good shape and once its pressed back in it should be good right? the motor only has 50k miles on it so thoughts?

make sure you mark the old belt prior to removal. It can be a major pain to put these belts back on in exactly the same spot, and marking the old belt with save you a lot of trouble.

Agreed, set everything to Top Dead Center before putting the belt on and you'll be fine. I don't see why you would put the new belt on exactly like the old one, its a belt.
