Steinbach,
yah so im pretty pissed, i just did a rebuild this past winter, and during my break in period everything was going just pefect all the way up to 500km...until the other night. I was driving along and i heard what sounded to be a rock or something in my brakes so i pull over and it is coming from engine bay so i immediatly turn the engine off... i looked around and seen nothing, so then i started the motor back up and it sounded like something shot out of the engine bay and hit something or something weird and then the ticking sound stopped. So after this i was a little heated out so i drove the car even nicer then i was and i started to hear a vibrating whine when accelerating.. .so now a few days later, this whine got louder and louder and louder, until tonight when it turned into a really weird vibration that makes a clunking noise even at idle now, and it used to idle perfect. what could this be! could it be something little like a tensioner or something? Im pretty much all dsmed out and on the verge of just selling it for parts so please some one change that and point me in the right direction!!! thanks guys

also now when i rev the car up it seems like it pulls the revs down pretty fast and just wants it to be revving low if you know what i mean.. i think theres something wrong with a idler pulley or a tensioner or something, does that make sense?
 
budddy that blowss. i'm feeling for ya man i know how much you put into that. well i searched a bit for ya and it sounds like it could be your tensioner pully.
