Went out this evening to do a log and when I did my pull I heard a strange noise when I let off. Not real loud but defiantly noticeable. I pull over and notice one of the mounts on my upper timing belt cover was broke and its rubbing against my cam gears. I figured the bolts had come loose and it just vibrated till it broke. So I drove it back home and took the cover off and found a big surprise.:notgood: Somehow a small bolt had gotten under the cover and wedged itself between the cover and the timing belt cutting a groove all the way around the belt. Its sucks but could of been a lot worse:pray:
