I've recently noticed my crankshaft pulley is starting to rub on the front of the timing belt cover, like the whole crankshaft is slipping back. I'm not real familiar with Subaru engines, but I'm sure this can't be good ! Any info would be GREATLY APPRECIATED !!!! Otherwise, running strong !

Maybe cover got loose and has moved into pully. Other reason would be severly worn thrust bearing. can you see ant forward backeard movement in pully engine running?
