Idler pulley somehow spun off. :mad: I must not have torqued it correctly. I'm guessing it was just a flat washer? Checked the bolt thread and it wasn't in there.

Thanks for any replies!
 
Lol I guess the angry face didn't convey my fury for this ruining my two-year-old top end. Head is headed to the machine shop. I do want to get the correct washer because I can't afford to go through this again!
I rebuilt the engine summer of 2014. I can't believe I didn't torque it correctly the first time! I was very careful about everything I did. It was my first rebuild and I think I did pretty good to get a year and a half of daily driving and road trips without any major problems.

Thank you for the fast replies and support!
