Took the car out last night and gave it the buisness a little. Shifted into second and I hear loud banging under the car. So I limp it back home and find the metco idler by the crank pulley is missing. Never heard of this happening. I tried out an RPM belt last summer and it was killing alternators bearings due to the belt not stretching. Mabye the tight RPM belt caused it to come loose or seized it up? I didn't really notice any noises though.
Tossed a metco idler last night.

How old are they? Maybe the bearing just locked up. Check your other pullies and make sure they spin freely.

Bolt holding it down could have backed out as well.
Wouldn’t hurt to put a wrench on the others and make sure they’re still snug
