I ended up checking all idlers, 2 of them had bad bearings, 1 was atrocious and probably the reason for the noise (it was the smooth idler, not the 2 grooved ones). Could this have caused the damage with my belt or did the belt make the bearings worse?

Also, since as of tomorrow I'm a Boosted Performance Snail member, the SC kit is for sale, but I'd like to replace the belt for the unknown buyer. What is the belt model?


Cheers,
Sorry you are having a problem.

Your serpentine belt is badly damaged! Do not run it like that.

All belts that I deliver are modified by cutting off one of the ribs converting an 8 rib belt to a 7 rib belt. This modification is done using custom tooling and every inch of the belt is inspected before I modify them.

It looks like you had a idler pulley bearing failure that in turn damaged the belt.

The SC belt is a K080220 from MAGNUSON SUPERCHARGERS GATES MIRCO-V AUX BELT REAR 8-RIB Gates K080220 [M-79-08-02-020] - $42.00

If you need another serpentine belt to replace the damaged one, PM me.
