Message	slippage on our cars I figured it this way. Get the belt and pulleys only to find out that the valves are bent which I suspected to begin with. Then I've lost the 3-4 days in waiting for parts in which time the motor could have been out and in pieces. It's a gamble. If I can get the boroscope home tonight that would be the fastest way to tell and I'll only lose one day.
