Belt tensioner fails at 9000 miles, bends almost every valve

Tensioner pulley failed just after 9000 miles (more or less) resulting in belt failure and bent valves. I've wanted to sell this car as a working, cheap mode of transport since I bought my new truck, but due to valvetrain damage from a faulty tensioner, I asked a scrapyard to pull it out, spend the extra money, buy quality control components, or risk it to get it. happen to your engine.

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • Lots of stuff
