Re: Burned up idler pulleys?

I had this happen on my old Pearly, the water pump went out, which in turn caused the idler pulleys to go bad (from the heat off the belt where the water pump was tight, and slipping) I replaced the water pump, idler pulleys and timing belt and it ran fine, but if it got REALLY hot there could be other damage.
