crank pulley?? please help

That is the harmonic balancer. They are known to seperate, but that is really early for a 99. Get a new one and you should be in good shape! I am guessing around $80 from Mitsu.

well, wife told me it had been ticking for a few days, but i think shes just hearing the lifter tick hopefully.....so you don't think the crank is screwed at all, just the balancer that the ps-a/c belt goes onto? if so, thats awesome, we are buying a new house in three days, and i wasn't planning on taking the downpayment money for a new engine. thanks.

oh yea, one more thing, i looked at it from the bottom, and it looks like it was eating up part of the timing cover?? down by the oil pan, there is two pulleys, one closest with crank-alternator belt (that was coming in contact to what looked like the timing belt cover) and then the outside one that was shaking with the ps-a/c belt....does this still sound like the dampener?
