I had heard that there is a "kit" that can fix that using an oversized washer somewhere. I'm assuming this "washer" would help guide the belt on the tensioner (or any other pulley that has no edges. What are the opinions out there to this idea ? If I had a circular plate (or washer) fastened to the pulley so as to allow a lip to the pulley(s), do you think that would work? I'd like some opinions before I make this idea reality.

Dont know about the newer one but back in the 80's and early 90's they had a sheild for that on the 2.2 and 2.5 L for the timing belt my 95 3.0 has seen 3ft of snow a couple of feet of water and no prob.
