More work...

Well, the Alt belt shredded and flew off. Nice. Wtr pump is on the same belt. So... Awesome. Overheated a bit. Hopefully didn't do any damage. Looked into it and the last person to do the timing belt put the outer water pump pulley on backwards. So... I fixed that. Got the belt back on only to find that the tensioner bolt is rusted to the bracket. It is soaking in penetrating oil now. Mean time, Mobil 1 5w-30 going in with a Mobil1 filter. Whew... why can't people just either be competent or not do the work at all???
