The belt tensioner pulley is wore out (on a '98), and instead of replacing the whole idler assembly, I just replaced the pulley. But now the bolt that holds the pulley onto the idler assembly is somewhat stripped and wont tighten all the way real tight (it is snug). I put some red loctite on the threads and screwed it in and snugged it up.

The belt is on and the tensioner is holding tension properly, so should the pulley bolt be ok and not likely to work its way loose and out?
It has been used and ran for about 30 minutes with no issues so far.

Sure, the proper replacement would be to replace the entire tensioner assembly with the pulley, but I didnt do that yet.

Thoughts?
