Had serpintine belt changed a while ago. Ran ok for 2 months.
Died yesterday. Mechanic thinks "It bent a valve" ?
Timing belt didn't break.
Is there a TSB about changing the "tensioners" when ya change the belt ?
I thought that if the belt got whacked-out, it wouldn't bend a valve.
Has this happened to anyone else ?
Not sure that this is exactly what happened yet. Mechanic's hasn't done a tear down yet.
( Aren't the serpintine belt & the timing belt one & the same ?)
Thanks,
jim
Sorry, missed the 4Cyl in the title. What year? Miles?
The timing belt is separate from the Timing belt. Here is a cutaway:

If not, go to
www.alldatadiy.com. They have all kinds of car manuals there. I also have the Haynes manual and someone else posted an e-bay site where you can get the Ford manual on CDROM.
