Sure, drop it on a hard surface, worn out, too much boost on the old non-thick casting plates, Really bad detonation.

Bad tune, bad gas, low octane gas, bad fuel delivery, crappy spark, intake charge too hot. There is like a million reasons.

If it happened on the dyno twice I am guessing it was being tuned? Sounds like you need to find a different tuner.

The only belts for serpentine are the gilmer ones, and they are found at tweak it.

And, if you can, please use better English next time, I am at my limits in understanding you. Especially when you are looking for things that **** on the fd.
