*sigh*

The good news. Changed out the bearing pack in the S/C tensioner. The stock one was pretty rough. had a lot of wiggle in it. The new pack is good and tight and good to go.

The bad news. Drove her around a bit without the S/C belt to listen to the engine. The original noise was NOT the bearing pack. Sounds like it's probably valve lash. The timing could well be off, but I am somewhat doubting that. Regardless, she goes in the shop soon for oil change, shock swap, wheel re-balance, and alignment, so I am just gonna let them diagnose it. I am not tearing into it since I need my garage space these next few weeks.
