[QUOTE="speedofsound, post: 8465300, member: 33243"] Well, rather than replace the belt (forgot that the blower idler prevents an easy swap; I do not feel like removing that right now), I looked at my tensioner and this is what I found. [IMG]http://lh4.ggpht.com/_sWoHu8KBRVE/SkVcanQc8SI/AAAAAAAAAUI/OSX7_kQUgHY/s800/IMG_3264-1.JPG[/IMG] So I am thinking, wow, that could be my noise right there. The black line is where the belt was rubbing (before or after the 8-rib swap I don't know). The shaved aluminum is from the pulley to the left of the tensioner. I filed it down to leave just enough lip to prevent belt-walk and cranked her back up. The noise is STILL there. Now I am suspecting a bearing in the tensioner because the noise is coming from that area and it was bouncing up and down more than I suspected. I'll hopefully have it installed tomorrow night or Sunday night. :bored: [/QUOTE]
