Idler spins freely and is in good shape. I really don't know what caused this, but I'm thinking it's possible that one of the crankcase ventilation tube clips broke and made contact with the belt. Not sure if that's possible, but my latest theory.

Anyhow, she's running after the new thermostat, new belt and crankcase vent repair.
