Here's what happens to a timing belt when an idler pulley seizes up
Luckily, it's a 91, so the engine was fine, but it really made for a lot of cleaning when I took everything apart. Got the new belt and water pump in, and she runs as good as new. Also replaced the plugs, wires, caps & rotors while I was in there.
I'm assuming this service had never been done before at about 86k miles, but at 26 years old, it was well past due.

A stunning mess. My 1990 silently came to dead stop in a snow storm on I-79 in West Virginia due to a frozen idler pulley that bisected the belt very cleanly. Yours looked like it fought to the bitter end.

I used this kit.

Water pump was Aisin, pullies were Koyo & NSK, tensioner was NTN, belt was Mitsuboshi, so they were all quality Japanese made parts. Everything seemed to be equal to OEM in terms of quality.

Thanks for the info! I got my kit @ timingbeltkit.com. They shipped for free and all the parts were high-quality Japanese made.
