ok well i have a vibration and asked my friend aboutit he says it could be the timing belt? what are signs of a timing belt going bad?
-Kyle

 

check the tension on the timing belt, and inspect it for cracks

 

when i take the valve cover off do i have to replace the gasket? should i anyway even if i dont have to?

the car is vibrating?
a timing belt wont cause the engine to vibrate, unless of course it skipped a tooth

yeah, replace it dont be cheap

 

ok i will go into gr8 detail now. it all started with a little noise from the crank pully at idle. not big i didnt think. then after about acouple days i felt alittle vibration but thou8ght it was just thye road. then after days it got worse and now its big so the vibration just keeps getting worse. tahts about it

dont replace the valve cover gasket

 

the vibration just stopped. is that good or bad. it comes back everyonce and a while but not near as bad. did i break sumthin or did it just fix itself?
