I had the same problem where it actually ripped up the lower timing belt cover. Replace the crank pulley and bolt and it should fix the problem. If not, you probably have bad thrust bearings.

that is exactly what mine did, ripped open the bottom part of the timing belt cover.
and made all the belts jump off, thought my engine was toast...
and to answer
you might just need to buy a new crankshaft pully and bolt is it loose? or is it tight it just wobbles?
it is tight in there, just wobbles a bit, and i dont believe i could get it to turn.
gonna go look for a guide now, thanks for the info.
anymore comments are welcome as well though
actually does anyone know of a guide to replacing this?

Just untension the accessory belts, remove the crank bolt while someone is stepping on the brakes in 5th gear, and then replace the pulley. Put it all back together and it should fix the problem.
