Default hmm.. serp belt tensioner and pully are shaking like a salt shakahhh.

started to hear a loud chatter from the engine earlier today. pulled in after a 45 min drive, popped the hood and saw the serp tensioner shaking like mad. This can't be good. I'll have JOE JOE @Axis ship me a new tension. I'm hopping it's nothing else.

Only a couple of things will do that. Tensioner or the pullys be loose. I did the timing belt on my gf's car and the crank pulley bolts walked out. Pop your head down there and take a look.

A/C tensioner pulley can also make quite a ruckus.

Default well look at you Mr. Fancy Pants </Ash>

I could have set the AC tensioner too loose. I won't really know until the nose comes off. I have plenty of work to do.. so until I have the other parts the car is parked.
