    Front pulley wobble?

    Im being very nit picky with my s2 at the moment so im after some advice

    after doing my timing belt I noticed a noise at the front of the engine , it seems my timing cover is broken (the part behind the belt )

    So while I was inspecting this and deciding what to do I noticed the front pulley / vibration dampner moving ever so slightly as if its doing a little shimmy ? do they do this ??

    obviously im pretty nervous after just doing the timing belt (even though I have fitted thousands)

    The 4 allen key bolts are definitely tight and the main crank bolt was replaced torqued to 220nm and had 130-150 degrees put against it

    I know its supposed to be 180 but my 3/4 bar and extention tube (and the locking tool wouldn't have taken the last bit)

    any help gratefully recieved

          dont they wobble due to the rubber vibration damper bit wearing. That said I bet if you put a new one on it will be the same anyway.
