        Check your tensioner. Go buy a new belt and put it on. While you're doing that check everything... After you have it on start it without the plastic covers on it and watch it to see if it's rubbing anything.

          Why would you leave them off? So you can go thru the hassle of pulling off the crank pulley AGAIN, just to put the lower timing cover back on? Your crazy....and high.

                I know this is silly... but you didn't leave any of the grommets off that go under the valve cover nuts did you? I don't know what else would cause that?

                  I thought my idea was fairly apparent in my last post. Why would he pull the crank pulley AGAIN to take off the timing cover, to put it back on so he can start his car and look for rubbing? Only to pull the pulley AGAIN to put the timing cover back on? When it would be much simpler to rotate the engine by hand and listen....

                  That shouldn't happen, are you using a valve cover gasket? Another place to look is under the timing cog on the crank, something might have fallen down there while you had the valve cover off, and rubbing on the belt.

                    Sounds like it was rubbing on the vc from the way you described it. Make sure the vc is lined up and bolted on the right way.

                      Never knew it was so hard to un bolt the crank pulley... lol. Thanks for the advice now though. Before it was just criticism.

                        Have you ever pulled the crank bolt? It's not fun, not one bit. Now if your in a shop, it's not as bad.

                            its easy to pull it off if you have the key that fits in it. used it couple of times
                            with the key and they are pretty tight lol.

                              Regardless, breaking loose the bolt can snap breaker bars, seen it and have done it. It's still not fun.
