New guy, problems already but its okay!

Hi all,
Just wanted to say hi to the community I recently purchased a stock apex silver evo 8 three weeks ago. Car feels good, I already had the crank angle sensor go out on me which was a little time consuming for a Monday night. all in all seems like a very good platform. Already got a walbro 255lph pump and all the stuff to dop the COP conversion. already did oil change, spark plugs and will be doing the transfercase and diff oil change this weekend.

Car did start to make a reattling nose last night though. sounded like an ac clutch so I was going to take off the serpentine belt and this happened


Aint that a btch! a well looks like I know what I am buying next. Cheers!

Auto tensioner breaking is pretty common. Pot metal isn't very cool!
