Yes, the pulley is clearly upside down.

The tensioner pulley bolt head also has an odd wear pattern. Any idea how that happened?
Was the belt you took off it the one that got munched or did this engine run for 2+ weeks with an oil pan stuffed with shredded belt?

I agree... But on the other hand, he is paying customer, can't really bite the hand the money is coming from.

So what caused the motor to lock up? Was it lack of oil pressure? Wouldn't that throw an idiot light and/or a CEL?

Well you would think. No way to tell, when I got the truck towed away from his house the battery had been dead for a while. It quit running due to a lack of oil pressure. But you would think it would throw a CEL. Maybe a EVAP code for the giant hole in the timing cover and OP.

so do we thing that in 2 weeks from the time of sale when it was running to the time of failure to when its not.....the failure occurred? wonder what the circumstances of the failure was.
the oil looks pretty bad for two week old oil.....every used vehicle I ever bought gets all fluids changed immediately.
I would send that oil in for sampling.

There's no way that damage could occur in a two week period without the driver knowing it. Plus the OP said there was a new belt on it when he disassembled it. So there's more to this story than is posted here.
But can't blame the OP for just saying "whatever", doing the job, getting his money. Just be aware your customer may not always be telling you everything, lol.

I have tried to get as much info as possible just out of sheer curiosity, because I have never seen a engine belt end up inside the engine before. I'm told he bought it in November, drove it 2 weeks and that's it. The rest of the time it's been sitting while he pays the note. I agree though, there is allot more to the story thaN what I'm told.
