These are the assertions made toward what the dealer did:
1) Four miles out of the dealership the 9 pound pully fell off and basically destroyed my engine. I am assuming it killed the synchronization.
2) The dealer "removed the time cover, polished crank & installed new balancer" among other related things.

That said, one would think a reputable dealer would recognize the need to replace
the guides/tensioners while having the cover removed. However, if it were my Jag,
I would do a physical inspection and make sure and especially so if I no longer had
the original bill of materials listed on the invoice.
