50029, Isn't the idler pulley the same pulley as...

the tensioner pulley (minus the bracket)?

I could have sworn that the pulleys them selves were the same piece but the dealer is fucking w/ my head. I know if you want to buy the tensioner pulley you get that bracket but can’t you just replace the pulley w/ the idler pulley?

Please correct me if im wrong. I found idler pulleys for 16 a pop and if I can us the pulley on my old bracket it would be WAY cheaper than getting the whole bracket assembly.

TIA
Brian

yeah its the same, they both have FC68768.3 on the black peices. the only thing i would worry about is the bolt here

thats the one that broke on me. i bent up the intake valves pretty good.

Another side question.

Do new stock valves come individually or in sets 2-4-8?
