Since the tensioner held for 150 miles after replacing timng belt could it just fail, or did they just not tighten it enough slowly leading to damage to engine. Could be the cause of the mishap if it came loose-there's no tension on the T/Belt
Make sure you check the condition of the head/ pistons-I've ran across with hair line cracked pistons when the valves marry up with the pistons when the belt breaks-
My opinion it wasn't done right if it was me I'll crank the engine a few times and recheck the belt tension before I seal it-
