Jimmy, the bearings on the new eccentric tensioners should NOT touch the belts at all, but come quite close? From one of the pics in your above write-up there is a small gap between the belt and bearing. If I recall (I just installed all the new parts yesterday), those little installation sheets mention that the 950 bearing should not touch the belt. I assume all three bearing should not be touching the belts?

Mine currently touch the belts right now and I believe the bearings did touch the belts with the original 16T center pulleys and original, non-adjustable tensioners.
