Here’s the last few photos and you can see my belt damage.
Accessory and timing belt change.
Good morning everyone, so yesterday was the start of my teardown of my 4C due to an accessory belt fraying and tearing while driving (didn’t break). I’m currently now waiting for my cam and crank lock tooling to complete the job. I think I’m about to rush deliver a few other components since I’m here(Novitec downpipe, gfb diverter valve). All parts used are oem parts for the belt drive system, the parts were purchased through moparpartsonline.com for about 360 dollars. So here’s some photos.

Back to the story....The tensioner pulley was the notorious weakness of the Twinspark engine, not the belt. Purchasing a quality tensioner pulley of the metal wheel variety rather than one made of plastic helped with longevity. I haven’t yet purchased a tensioner so can anyone chime in with a description of their original and replacement. Are they metal or plastic wheels?
That said, on the Twinny, a failed tensioner on the accessory belt can snap the cam belt as the accessory belt flails around and catches in the cam belt. Get everything associated with your belt change done at the same time, including the water pump. It’s false economy to skimp.
Nice man!! I don’t have a dealer nearby the nearest dealer to me is Walnut Creek and that’s about a 6 hrs drive. I just fell out of warranty so it’s no biggie to me. I have a race pig that take most of my maintenance life so this is a nice change
the racepig...

My guess is you’ll have a matching pair shortly.
Ya it’s more than likely. It runs in my family and I consult for fighter jets so I’m around tons of noise constant. I wear earplugs dailyMy guess is you’ll have a matching pair shortly.
