    Just got home a bit late from a rather spirited drive after getting the car back from being completely re-timed, new belt, tensioner etc. and I've got... a noise... It just started now and I'm off to bed but you guys are on opposite time zones so I thought I might post it up for some wisdom before diving into it tomorrow [:D] any suggestions for what to look for in the morning? I'm wondering if its a pulley somewhere or maybe something's rubbing. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated and hopefully the video serves it well (if you listen closely it almost sounds like metal on metal sometimes)

    Thank you!

    Drop off the auxiliary belts one at a time and see if it makes the noise.

    Thank you for the suggestion! Turns out it was quite simple, just the inner timing cover was missing a bolt so the cover was rubbing on the crank pulley, I thought it sounded a lot worse though! Was fearing my intermediate shaft bearing or my outer cam bearing
