then i suppose this is exactly what my problem is, as i had a new timing belt and balancer put on and judging by the close similarities of symptoms from our rigs, i'd be willing to say the shop i used didn't torque it down good. but too late for me to get anything out of them, as the 12 month/12,000 mile warranty is gone. however, my big concern is that could this possibly be something that i need to get fixed ASAP as it obviously seems a pulley may be loose on my ride? any input on this will be appreciated, and good luck with your case terminator

By buddy has his fall off while driving, not to say it will happen to you but I'd get it fixed ASAP though. As for the shop in KY, Advanced Engine Exchange BTW, they said they didn't have to remove it to put the belt on but then in a later email he said they took all of the pulleys from my old engine and put them on the new one so he's contradicting himself. I'm giving them a chance to make it right but if they don't I'm going to do my best to burn them down.

haha, i know what ya mean. nothing like what you think is a good shop screwing you over...well, i guess when i go home for christmas break i'll have it in a shop, since i normally don't drive but maybe 2 miles a week while at college. thanks for this wrtie-up man and keep me updated on anything new

and crap, i forgot to ask...if i may...how much did fixing this problem cost you? if i remember correctly when i had a timing belt, crank pulley and water pump put on it was pretty high b/c of labor, but just thought i'd ask

$715.02, mostly labor costs and some diagnostic fees.
