[QUOTE="MADRUSSIAN, post: 15215945, member: 46171"] Replaced my stock tensioner with RRR tensioner and when I was tightening it, it felt like it stripped. Back it out and re tighten it. Seem to hold. Drove car for couple of weeks, made few wot pulls and it seemed to be all fine. Tonight did some data logging and went through 3rd, 4th and 5th.... heard something hitting inside of the hood lightly, stopped, opened the hood and blue belt shredded one rib off and was beating the inside of the hood with remaining chunk. My guess is that bolt gave a little , tensioner got a bit crooked and belt got shredded. So my question is: anyone re threaded hole in the block? I know there are steel inserts that work pretty good and I was thinking about drilling it and tapping in a steel insert....any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
