thought this would be intertaining so i will tell a tale. i finally got my car back together after doing a timing belt replacement and serpentine belt replacement. and the plastic behind the cam gears somehow crept toward the cam gears and is now getting the **** grounded out of it . this greatly pisses me off cause now i have to take **** apart again. i think im just going to cut the plastic that seems to be grinding. what do you guys think? its the plastic behind the cam gears and it serves very little purpose.... hit me up with ur opinions

 

damn that sux
good luck w/ everything

 

Sorry to hijack your forum as I have the same problem on my teg. It is grinding into the cam gear but works out ok, I am leaving it as is till next belt change (30k away).

So far it seems like it is alright, just knock on wood.
