Got it all fixed up, it was a bit of a process.

In the process of cleaning the oil from the belts/tensioners the bearings in the pulleys died. Luckily I already had everything (tensioner, and all pulleys/belts) on a shelf as a rainy day preparation so I was able to just toss them on.

Day one after the fiasco


Replaced with Rogue Engineering Vanos line, it fits fairly well. I added a second clamp as the kit only came with one, so I pinned it with the oem bolt holes. Otherwise it fit great, routed the way I routed it the only criticism is it could stand to be 1/2" longer.


Cleaned up and with new hardware installed on the motor mount arms, also had 3 missing bolts on the same front corner of the oil pan... not sure what that's all about. Did an oil/filter change, replaced the main belt tensioner and pulleys, and two new belts. It runs great now, but it hasn't exactly been fun.
