You can see where the nut was just rubbing quite a while. The damage is as wide as the nut. The belt material was everywhere. Now the crank gear doesn't look that bad so I'm hoping that maybe I can just reuse it? Any advice for my first timing belt replacement? 92' 2+2 NA 5sp DD (also 71' Camaro project) 71' debut soon? Or for sale?
