I just thought I would add that you may want to track down the source of that oil while you are in there. It may be the valve cover gasket, but then again it may not be. Most people would agree that oil on the timing belt is not a good thing. There is a good chance that the oil is leaking from the front case. If it is, you would be time and money ahead to just replace the front case gaskets now since you will be pulling the t-belt again anyways to replace the crank sprocket. Thats just my opinion though. Good luck.

The front case is where my oil leak was coming from. It got on the timing belt and all the other accessory belts.

yes sir alot is going to be gone through while its gonna be down this far. I have always known the oil was there I have just been putting it off and well I guess now is the time. Putting maintenance off on these cars is not a wise thing to do but I have just been trying to get all of my ducks in a row before I tackle this to make sure I do everything that needs to be done. Which obviously is a good thing because I could have gotten the timing all sqared away and then realized I have the fudged up sprocket in there. I really hope that a new one of those will take car of the wobbling because I looked today (yes I drove it, now it is parked) and it was not only wobbling in and out but also up and down kinda scary I hope there isnt something seriously wrong with the crank. Since its a 6-bolt I have confidence there isnt. And I will go ahead and replace the case gasket and all gaskets/seals I can get my hands on while Im in there. Thanks for the luck and I appreciate the opinions. Thanks for the lookup on the OE sprocket and all the other help snowboarder....and everyone else.

I don't know if this helps with your original problem or not but I thought I'd add a comment.

A few years back I had what sounded like your exact problem.

It turned out that the rubber isolator that comprises the inner hub and outer ring on my harmonic balancer was deteriorated to the point that the two pieces were slipping apart.

I removed my belts and pulled the outer ring right off!

After I replaced the harmonic balancer the problem was solved...

If possible lay under the car (while it's supported securely of course) and rotate the crank manually and see if the balancer turns like a bent bicycle rim.
