[QUOTE="vipergts281, post: 11616525, member: 10912"] Yeah, I saw someone selling their blower for $260 plus shipping. They are pretty cheap. I actually used to have a spare blower. I got it with the intention of having it ported. Then decided to stop modding my car so I sold it. And yeah, I'm guessing mine could probably use a rebuild because of the mileage. But like you said, it may be better to just get a lower mileage one. And I am on my 3rd or 4th alternator, I lost count. After telling a friend about this (he has a fully built turbo'd Cobra), he mentioned that it could be a timing chain tensioner (sp??) that went bad or the timing chain guide pivot broke (or both). So I went into research mode and it may be a bad timing tensioner. Someone else on here posted a video of their car making a noise and it was a bad timing chain tensioner. It's this video...
