OMFG!! Look at my timing belt!
 

Since the life of my car, I only opened up the timing belt cover once to take the valve cover off, to do my lifters. I didn't lose any bolts. That was like 3months ago. Today when I was driving I was hearing a winding sound like a supercharger, and even though it sounded cool I wanted to investigate. I concluded it was coming from the timing belt area, so I took the cover off and this is what I found!!!

Needless this had to happend, a day after I bought my airline tickets for vacation So have to wait another two weeks before I can get this repaired, I can safely say I won't be driving it, cause I rather have a belt to worry about, then a head.

Bolt 1, timing belt 0.
Good kill, time for a 60k :).

Re: OMFG!! Look at my timing belt!
 

You must have dropped that in there at some point, it's a timing cover bolt.

Re: OMFG!! Look at my timing belt!
 

At least you know what caused it.

Re: OMFG!! Look at my timing belt!
 

Yep, now just fix it.

Re: Retards!! Look at my timing belt!
 

Yeah, take that bolt out and smear some rubber cement along the bad edge of the belt. That should hold it together for a while. :D

Re: OMFG!! Look at my timing belt!
 

Yeah, shit you got another 10-20k miles left on that belt. It's just the edge. :D

Re: OMFG!! Look at my timing belt!
 

Is it just me or does that last pic look fucking sweet?

Re: OMFG!! Look at my timing belt!
 

It's just you.

Re: Retards!! Look at my timing belt!
 

Think so? I'm going to do that then! In about two weeks I'll get my new belt on! :D

Re: OMFG!! Look at my timing belt!

Those are good but this is definately the back, I love how the rest of the engine is out of focus and just stretches in to the backround

Re: OMFG!! Look at my timing belt!
 

I had these problems on the first DSM shortblock I built. I didn't know then that one of the oil pan bolts is shorter than the others. Doh.

Re: OMFG!! Look at my timing belt!
 

Wow you got lucky. I like the last pic as well.

Re: OMFG!! Look at my timing belt!
 

I better try checking my timing belt also. I hear the same noise that sounds like a supercharger you were describing. Car is in storage so I wont have to worry about breaking anything yet.

Re: OMFG!! Look at my timing belt!
 

agreed. sucks bout the belt tho. atleast u know what caused it :/.
