<VV> Elusive timing mark

[Ray Rodriguez III]

Sounds like a good diagnoses,  I have a spare harmonic balancer right on 
hand.  I thought it was impossible for the timing mark to get out of place 
though... thought there was some kind of....... thinymajigger.....  that 
prevented the inner and outer from getting out of alignment even if the 
rubber failed.... guess maybe not =P
