Find out EXACTLY why the serp belt went south. Otherwise, it will be futile effort fixing the cyl head.

I have a laser belt alignment tool, and it will be used.

The tensioner and idler will be replaced just as "PM".

My first suspicion is the a/c, but I am also going to pull the balancer and crank pulley. That isn't necessary, but will allow inspection of those pieces as well.

There wasn't any noise previously, nor did I find any nicked or wobbling pulleys, but I am going to check anyways.
