First of all. learn to use some grammar. No caps, poor punctuation. And you expect us to help you?

Your belt is *NOT* running true. Your harmonic balancer has failed, and needs to be replaced. Do a search, this has been covered frequently.

Yeah!

If what you are saying is that the Harmonic Balancer is cutting into the timing cover, then you need to replace the HB and most likely the timing cover depending on the extent of the damage. It's pretty common for the HB to fail after many thousands of miles, and the outer section will either slide forward (throwing the belt off) or will slide back and eat the timing cover.
