As some of you may know, one of my idler pulley bearings for the accessory belt failed on me at Calabogie a couple of weeks ago. I was able to get off track before the engine got into the red, but as soon as I shut it off, the temps shot up. Well two new pulleys and a hydraulic tensioner have been installed, and it seems as if the car is running great. No white smoke from the exhaust, and everything sounds normal :thumbup:

This is what a failed bearing looks like:
