it's completely possible that it get's screwed up when the serpentine belt gets sucked into the front cover where the timing stuff lives.
OP, it's time to pull the pan at the very least, but I'm afraid that you're going to find a bunch of belt material all throughout the motor.
It's a well known issue, bummer that your friend didn't bring it to you to have the OFHG replaced before it caused belt failure. This is a completely preventable situation and one that everyone knows about by now.
