Default need help bad

ok about a week ago i turned the car on and the alternator belt broke... so when i tryed to replace it i noticed the crank pulley was very wobble and loose... so i towed it to the shop and they threw a spare pulley i had on it and now there tellin me i bent a rod... they said its making all kind of noises when they start it now... the timing belt was fine though so i dont understand how this happened.... any suggestions?

who rebuilt the motor, ? if it wasn't you take the car to where it was rebuild and have them look at it. depending on hoe much you know about the car you may want to look at it your slef.

also it it is very difficult to look at a car without opening the engine and diagnose that you have a "bent rod" thats alittle far fetched. if you crank pulley was wabbling your timing belt could have jumped a tooth which would cause the car to run like ****, if you want a true reliable answer if you can't work on it yourself take it to a certified honda dealer, may be $ for them to look but they aren't going to give you a load of BS

edit : oh yeah and ask them what they mean by all kinda of noises? with a loose pulley alot of things could hae happend uder the timing belt cover.
