i have a 1996 sti and the pulley on mine looks like its wobbling very slightly tried to tighten it but it was tight so im guessing i should take it off and check this key way
p.s its not near the cover or anything just looks like its unbalanced if that makes sense
should i be concerned or am i being paranoid??? as it looks fine when its not idling

I never time up using the pulley to pulley marks, I use them for referrence only. Best way is with a new belt (£35ish from GGR) and use the white marks to assist fitting. If you can, find a peice of aluminium plate that slots into the groove of the belt covers and align with marks on pulleys using the plate as an extension of the cover groove as with the engine in the car, the exhaust cams are a right tw#8t to do. Refer to pulley to pulley marks to tripple check after white marks, pulley to cover (All the white marks never line up perfect but there is definately a closer match one way than the other).
Start at the crank shaft and work anti-clockwise with the tension pulley removed.
I even made a hair clip type thing out of a bucket handle that slotted over the timing belt and into the crankshaft pulley to stop the belt jumping off while findling about.
The driver side cams are off cam at TDC but the passenger side cams are both on cam and tend to move right at the critical point but I find using the method above makes it relatively easy.
Hope that helps

The pulleys on the crankshaft tend to look like they wobbles as well

You can see on this pic, just how bad it has damaged the alt/crank pulley.

Quick update while i have the chance.
Ive removed cam pulley, and the old key. See pic below of the damage.
Damage to the crank isnt as bad as i was expecting, im sure a few spot welds will sort it. Im picking up a new crank/alt pulley and cam pulley of mattybr5 tommorrow, and i am also going to replace the front crank seal while i can get to it.
Shocked to find that 2 of the oil pump bolts were loose, i could actually undo them with my fingers, So i am glad i found all this when i did or it could have been a lot worse.

Shame the bottom one isnt quite right. I guess you could always use the one 2nd from bottom and lock it somehow.
