Did some driving last night to get some break in miles. I'm ~160 miles in.

Stoped at a light, a hooptie pulls up next to me, and is making a very noticeable metal on metal chirping. Light goes green,  he pulls away, and the noise persists. FUCK!

Pull into a parking lot. Oil pressure good, running fine. Pop hood and there is a distinct metal on metal touching noise. I can clearly hear its external to the motor and assume its from something in the accessory chain, so I roll the dice and drive back home.

Pull serpentine belt off, noise persists.
Pull front pulley off, noise presists but different now.
Pull off timing covers and what do we have!

My fucking timing idler pulley decided it actually wants to be a hole saw.





Looks like the actual roller sleeve slipped forward on the bearing and went to town.

Thankful i caught it before any timing incidents could occur, and at least its into my covers it cut and not my block.

Anyone ever seen anything like this? I thought maybe I installed it incorrectly, but it was never present until yesterday. Also, you cant install that bearing wrong because its indexed. So what to do now.

ECS will just replace the failed part.

I ordered a new tensioner, relay arm, tensioner bearing and idler bearing because im paranoid and some how new parts have less chance of failure? sigh

gonna go try to pull some timing covers today.

timing and front end put back together with new parts. diff put in. back on the road!

Its so much nicer driving without locked diff!

I got in a little traffic pin today where i needed to gun it to get over and i hit boost..... holy poop she took off. Hopefully my clutch forgives me.

I need to figure out how to code my abs module now.

After struggling with the special hell that is the stock slave cylinder connection for the better part of a day, I gave up on it.

I removed the fitting from my slave cylinder, machined it down in length and bored it out to accept 3/16th line. Cut the line and flared it onto the fitting. Curse what ever that stock connection is.

Break in miles complete. I've been boosting all over! pretty fun. Going to put in my 16lb spring tomorrow.

Okay, so I was able to get some threaded rod at the store, cut it into 3 peices, thread that into the waste gate, then use a nut on each to push it down onto itself, huzzah!

Now I need to figure out why my banks are out of trim ~3%. I replaced injector orings, intake manifold gaskets, and 02 sensor still they seem to be off.

adaptation( idle ) bank 1 sensor 1:-1.7%
adaptation(partial) bank 1 sensor 1:14.1%

adaptation( idle ) bank 2 sensor 1:-0.8%
adaptation(partial) bank 2 sensor 1:6.3%

 Banks are out.

I have:
-pressure tested
-smoke tested
-replaced bank 2 02 sensor
-swapped injectors from bank to bank


I need:
More input or thoughts on what to look for. Anything is appreciated.
