Timing belt chewing problem

[Smitherines]

Lol, nice title, but anyways, I got my car running today after buying it with bent valves three months ago, but now shes chewing the inside of the timing belt up. Its kinda confusing me, it seems to be happening down by the crank.

Check all your pullys,or for any thing in the way of your belt.

Looks like its hitting the oilpan, but why the new one and not the old one?

Check your oil and crank sprockets. Could have the edges on the sprockets bent in a lil causing the belt to have pieces bit out of it. Unless it's really bad, I doubt it will be harmful.

:WTF: Any time you are chewing a timing belt it can be trouble. (Causes cavities )
you need to find out what is rubbing on it and fix it. I know that isnt much help, but unless you want to snap a belt and been more valve later, you need to find the problem soon.

Look and feel around the belt, if you dont see it, turn the motor over with a ratchet and keep checking until you can find where it rubs and go from there. Hope you find it...

The important part here, is you need to find it.

Also check the crank angle sensor (don't know why they call it a sensor) The metal plate on the crank behind the timing belt it probably has a rough edge on it and knicking the belt.

Well I guess thats bad... seriously, mine puts a notch in the belt every couple teeth. Its very minimal and because of my oil sprocket. I'm not worried about it. It's only a couple mm if that. So something like that isn't going to be a big problem.

Check the two or three bolts that hold the oilpan on under the timming belt. If they are the long ones, they should be short, they will rub the timming belt and chew it up.
