Did you drop a bolt down the timing cover or take the oil pan off? If you took the oil pan off, you likely put the bolts in the wrong holes. You might have a longer bolt rubbing against it. The previous owner did that to the first dsm we ever bought. Good thing we decided to take the top cover off once.

The crank pulley seperating doesn't mess up the timing belt. At least not in my experiences.
