It seems that the previous owner of my car had stripped the hole that the tensioner pulley of my car is fixed to. I am wondering if the lower part of the serpentine set up is replaceable as a bracket or faceplate. I didnt really have much time to look at the engie after replacing the tensioner that was already on the engine (which was completly effed) most likely due to the extra wriggle room, but i will look at the engine components more closely tomorrow. I was just preying that i would make it home on the the few remaining threads left in the bolt hole knowing that it could fail and i would lose half my coolent. If anyone can help me out i would love any advice.
