It means that the engine was on the verge of destroying itself!

The belt could have been to tight.

On my old Calibra Turbo when i first bought it - i did the cam belt and water pump. Good job i did - the belt was slipping because the water pump was wrong. Bits of belt i found everywhere it was on the verge of snapping.
