Where are you located?

I really wish more customers were in driving distance of NJ. We'd have a lot more satisfied Crossfire owners.

First, I can't imagine what seal they are talking about as the motor is more or less gasketless, just some silicon in its place.

Second, I don't see how this is ruining your belt, about a $35.00 part, or your non-existent tension ring. Are they talking about the idler pulley?

If I'm familiar with where you are located I'll recommend a reputable shop for you.

Good luck.
