very strange, I didnt think the bolts were anywhere near a belt as it has a cover on. ive done mine twice now due to a faulty idler bearing. I know the side bolts dont torque down too much where the tops are very tight. maybe been overtightened or they have reused the old bolts.
1st time round old bolts were used, 2nd time new bolts were used. I think it was more a care of because the engine moved position the belt was hitting caseing(the way it was described thats how i understood it)
