The bolts for the fan belt tensioner mount keep breaking. I'm out of ideas. I have replaced everything. I've tried different grade bolts and even studs. I think the problem is with the metal surface you can see breaking away at the 2 bolt holes. If that's the case it will require a new engine as it is part of the block and not a cover. Any ideas or advice? The fan hub turns freely and is working properly. That's all this belt runs.
