this is what my timing belt looks like, Profesionaly opinoion please
I was having a wierd noise coming from the general area of the accessory belt/timing belt area. Brought it to my mechanic and he said pull the accessory belt and run the engine. If it still makes the noise its the timing belt if not then it could be the alternator or one of the wheels. timming belt is still good no noise was being made. The large wheel at the botom was still making a noise. It looks like its loose Any ideas on tightening it?

So are you saying the noise is gone when the serpentine (accessory) belt is removed?
If so, then spin the serp belt tensioner pulley and see how noisey it is. If that's not the culprit, spin the alterator pulley (down low on the passenger side of the engine, and then spin the air conditioning pulley (down low on the driver's side).
Repair as needed.......although with that stereo system I'm surprised you even know the engine is running 8-P

are you saying the crank pully is wobbling?
if so the 8 or so hex heads that hold the pulley to the crank maybe loose or the crank bolt itself is loose, either way fix it before you drive it again

I would remove the
serpentine belt tensioner and then remove the covers that expose the timing belt tensioner and idler pulley, then run the engine again and take a look at both the timing belt tensioner and pulley to verify they are not the cause of the noise. Its somewhat unlikely that the crankshaft pulley would fail, but it is possible. The crankshaft pulley is a two piece pulley, you may need a new pulley and/or harmonic balancer the second of the two pieces.
