Long story short, I've had 2 belts shred on me. Tensioner arm and pulley look good after taking it off. I did have an idler next to the tensioner pulley back out some as it appears the bolt hole is stripped. Problem #1, any advice whether to helicoil the idler bolt hole or go larger screw? I retapped it after the first shred, but it didn't have enough bite on it. Problem #2 after the belt shredded the 2nd time, my Metco Alt 3.2 backed out as well as the nut. Pics below...

BTW, that is a lifetime warranty alt. from auto zone, so I picked up a new one. Problem is I need a new Metco Alt pulley and looking at the alt. housing, will the new alt pulley work? Here are pics of the autozone alt.
Here is a pic of the fubar Metco pulley with the new Alt. There is no way it could sit flush without a spacer because of the lip on the alt housing would just grind into the back of the pulley.
Will this new Metco Alt pulley work with the current alt? It looks like the pulley has a spacer made into the pulley already.
