howling after T-belt job?

I thought about it rubbing the t-belt cover on the
upper arc of the cam gear.  I had this.  Somehow the
cover on a previous change got bent.  Maybe after
removal, but most likely as a pry point.  Warbled with
a new belt until some rubber was removed.  Maybe look
inside the cover?  The metal will be shiny with black
dust downrange.
