Does anyone know what the drive belt tensioner assy attaches to? Mine sheered off and took part of what ever it attaches to with it. I want to know if it is repairable or start calling some junk yards. Also it's a ZX2 with a 2.0 DOHC


thanks

You mean it sheared off the three (circled) bolts? Those bolts attached to the block, if I remember right.
