I'm pretty sure I know what the answer is, but I just want to be sure. Just a few days ago, my car started making a metal clinking sound-similar to someone hitting a metal tube with a screwdriver. So I talked with some of my friends and one says that it could be my crank pulley going out. Then I came across this thread:

The sound in the video is exactly like the sound my car is making. Now for the question: Is my crank pulley going out?
When I installed my FMIC last week, I had to put on a shorter alternator belt because the pipe was hitting the alternator. Could this shorter belt have accelerated the process or could it just be the age since it's 18 yrs. old and 167,991 miles?
I'm getting one tomorrow from DSMgraveyard, but since it is used, will the shorter belt accelerate the wear or won't it be a problem? Let me know. Thanks.
