Re: i feel stupid
The bolt is broken off in the block? Sounds like an easy fix with an easy out.

Re: i feel stupid
can you not replace the tensioner? what about drilling a short hole in the stuck bolt, screwing a screw in and threading it out? you might have to use a reverse thread screw

Re: i feel stupid
Yeah it should be a straight foward repair, check the helms book and see what it says, but I dont recomend that you weld that back on there because I dont think it will be as strong. You risk really damaging your motor if it breaks while driving!!!

Re: i feel stupid
sorry i didnt check this i've been really busy turns out i cracked the peice off my block like its not as simple as it sounds im a pedestrain for now though because i gotta take the motor out and we're going to try and repair the block where it broke off if it doesnt help and we cant get it to stick then i'll put everything together in my other block but thats a hell of a lot of work for something so stupid
