So the timing belt tensioner tool broke off with the previous owner and he left it in there.. The piece ended up falling down and lodging it between the BS belt and Crank trigger plate bending it to the point it was making that noise..

Ron took apart the engine and everything was good except he said that the previous owner must have ran it low on oil at some point and the rod bearing were starting to spin and it wouldnt have lasted much longer..

In the end I ordered up rods and pistons and the entire timing side will be replaced and the motor will be like brand new! I should get the motor back sometime next week!

Sounds like you dodged a bullet there with those rods!
