Just another friendly day in the neighborhood. Birds are chirping, dogs are barking and I’m changing my air filters. Engine’s just about buttoned up, I gently press down on the final beauty cover and proceed to crack a mount on the blower side...
Definitely been repaired before. I’ve slathered the crack in RTV, but I’d like to know how it would have affected running if left open and how the hell this could’ve broken in the first place...

Someone most likely took off the SC pulley by holding it down with hose clamps and using that engine cover tab/mount as an anchor point when trying break the bolt loose. I think this is how most people do it, but a few have broken off that tab. Some say to use an impact. I think there's a special clamp used for removing the SC pulley in WIS

Thanks. Guess I’ll have to use the impact wrench + filter strap method when I need to work on the blower.
