CAMARO6 - View Single Post - Belt shredded, coolant completely leaked out, towed it home

It appears the SC belt is still in tacked as it runs on its own tensioner so there is no way the SC could have caused that GM tensioner bolt to fail as they have no relation to each other in the front drive assembly. The tensioner for the SC is on the drivers side and when installing the SC the GM tensioner is not involved in the installation whatsoever. Has anyone been working in that area for any reason such as replacing the alternator belt? Have you changed that cam or anything else where that tensioner would have been removed? There is a twist in that bolt which appears to me it been over torqued at some point.
