Jon you out there? Had work done at old Crazy Concepts looking for new location!

I had some rather nasty bearing noises comming from my factory pulleys on my 04 Cobra. Took it into Landmark Ford...for what I thought would be a routine replacement of 3 smooth pulleys and the remounting of my idler. I ordered 3 100mm smooth and 1 92mm from BilletFlow. All they had to do is replace them. I offered them the belt size 81" as the larger size would be required given the 6lb lower and 3.10 upper. I took the car in bright and early last Monday at 7:45 am. I got the car back 5:15pm on Thursday.

Tech's comments in quotes ""

Step 1. "oh this will take 2.5hr labor to replace these"
Step 2 "oh we can't get the pulleys to work in the way you asked them to be placed...it"

Step 3. "We got it all together you're old belt worked fine..we started it..something shreded your belt ...need to get another"

Step 4. "We got the belt today but we lost your factory pulley we were going to put next to the 6lb lower you have.....not sure where it is...need to get one somewhere"

Step 5. "Sorry the guy we sent out to get your part ...well he went to the wrong place...its in vancover now...so tommorrow we will get it"

Step 6. End of day "We got it all together sounds good...I took 2 of the 4 days rental off for you...."

I go in ...car sounds good at idol now...no squeaking pulleys ...yay....

I drive home....hear this hard metal sound like something gone bad.....The top of the engine is now vibrating a bit I can hear it now at idol slightly but at RPM much more so.

I freak! not going back there again.

p.s. They overwrote my Tune from Krazy Koncepts. The great news is my Predator with the tune on it...no longer works on my car because its "not the same original tune different car". I guess them 'reseting it" altered the cars brain so much the Predator now see's it as a new car thus violating the usage licence somehow.

This the result of there fine handy work:

I actually walked around the car....it's definitely coming from the snout area...


So I need a pro shop near or close to newberg, OR. Or on this side of Portland if possible.

I added a quick UTube to help those in the know "hear" the great work of my mechanics.

LOL the tow huh?

Did you hear it in the video? that does not sound right at all

Can a missing tooth on the tensioner cause belt slip?

So I called billetflow and the good man said "Belt if its making noise under load its more then likely the belt slipping"

I whomped on it a bit today and yeah it pretty much just bogged....i'm thinking slipzilla.

I was looking at my old thread and yeah I had a 80.5 on there before so 81" is not that far off. I looked at my belt tensioner.

Its missing a freaking stop tooth on the pulley side of the tensioner. That can't be good. Its like broke off.

Can that cause the slippage?
