Turns out to have been the Harmonic balancer - completely seperated. It took out the 4 month old waterpump as well. I understand it could have been worse - oil pump is nearby. This has been a VERY expensive year for old greenie $4000 in March, converted the car to a manual trans (auto died at 94k) this included 90k service, new timing chain, head gasket, fixed drivers seat, antenna mast, new front brakes CV joint/boot. $350 in April, Heater core dumped into the drivers compartment $1000 in June, new alpine head unit, speakers, and Eclipse 100w 4 channel amp $450 in july, Dunlops gave way to a set of Michelins $550 for the harmonic balancer/waterpump Keep in mind I bought her for $6k early last year... Thanks Judd '94 C900S Convertible 102k
