[V8] T-belt cog broke on me....

[ron_01056 at yahoo.com]

Yeah, before I put the 4.2 in Betty I got some high flow heads for the 3.6 motor that was in her allready. I bought the cog from the dealer. Prolly 4k miles later the motor was still smoking after being re-ringed, so that's when I noticed yhe brand new 4k mile old cog was cracked in three spots.
 The Allen head bolts were torqued down properly...my guy at the dealer did it.

 With the 200 it was certainly a shock. I mean I just did the belt on that car and I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.
 Oh well I'll just pull the motor and drop some rods and bearings in her and have the head done and put a big turbo on her.

Didn't you remove one in pieces in the past?
