My moms 04 civic VP was making a weird noise Sunday. After further inspection, I noticed a small hole in the lower tb cover and a piece of the tb popping out while the engine was running. The belt was replaced with a oem belt, water pump about 25k prior.
I picked up a new tb, lower cover and a tensioner spring.
I started tearing everything apart and when I got the cover off, this is what I found.The water pump was tight, along with the tensioner. The spring seemed decent, but replaced it anyway. The bolt in the tensioner wasn’t very tight when I took it off. Could that have caused this?

Yes, from the design of that motor a overly loose belt might walk froward enough to get torn up on the crankshaft timing notches.
