To check if the belt skipped, I can just take off the t-belt cover, and check to see if the arrows line up on the cam gears, right?

Theres what I found when I pulled the Valve cover off, thats all that seemed out of the ordinary. Should I just go ahead and pull the head off??

Also I checked the turbo for play, and it moved about a milimeter from side to side, and I couldnt get it to move front to back. It didnt spin very freely but it did spin.

Im not quite sure, but I think its an oil line and there was a bit of it that was shaved off. Thats all that appeared to be out of the ordinary.

ya well.....bad caps can allow a lot of gheyness to occur. Lightning gsx can tell if your caps leak, and if that is the case, fix it for a VERY reasonable price.

Yes. Line up the mark on the crank pulley and then check the cam gears.
