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
