TENSIONER PULLEY PIVOT BOLT SNAPPED UNDER LOAD (35 MPH) AND BELT WRAPPED & "SHREDDED" AND GOT BOUND UP BEHIND CAMSHAFT PULLEY AND TIMING COVER, ( EVEN SLICED AND CUT UP BACK COVER).WHEN I OPENED IT UP TENSIONER PULLY AND BRACKET FELL OUT ON THE GROUND, SUPRISE !!! UNSURE AS TO WHETHER IT MAY HAVE SHEARED OFF THE CAMSHAFT TO PULLEY ALIGNMENT PIN AND BENT VALVES OR KISSED AND POSSABLE PUNCHED HOLE IN A PISTON. WAS A REAL MESS. TOOK 20 MIN TO REMOVE BELT PIECES. WIFE WAS DRIVING AND SAID NO LOUD CLUNKING OR MISFIRES, JUST LOST POWER AND QUIT ! ANYBODY GOT ANY POSSABLE X-RAY VISION THOUGHT ON POSSABLE SCENIERO DAMAGES ??
