I had been "too busy" to replace my timing belts which had done 130k. when I finally got around to it i found the following. the overhead pic shows the pulley bearing in an out of aligned position. The wear on the centre bolt is clear, as is the resulting wear on the timing cover. So as u can see, I "almost had bent valves" if the timing belt had slipped or come off! Do yourself a favour and learn from my mistake. When your belt is due......dont put it off. Oh and use thread locker on the pulley bolt!
