Plus the third mounting hole under the arm doesnt line up AND the pulley bolt stripped the threads when torquing it.....

Now onto the idler bracket.....2 out of the 4 mounting holes lined up.....it appears that the holes are for the size of tge studs/bolts only whereas the stock idler bracket the holes are oversized....

On a good note i did get the ic pump changed out....

I still think in my opinioniated way that Thump Racing makes the best aftermarket tensioners eventhough they're not adjustable...

We are pretty much at par. $1 Canadian is $1.01 US... If I can get enough overtime Im gonna try for $100,000 this year!
If you don't mind the cold come on up! Rumors have it that we are going to fire up our other blast furnace, so they are going to need some more man power

I'm not sure how the taxes work, I think you get the Canadian tax back.. just like if I go to the US and win money I can get the taxed money on the winnings back
