metal on metal grinding, if i get a long pry bar and push on the timing cover it stops, as it leaves contact with the ballancer, and if i push it side to side it comes and goes too,

The cover is bent. Has happened to me. I just ended up replacing the lower cover.

Is the balancer alright? the rubber bonding may have failed causing the outer ring on the balancer to touch the cover.....
