been noticing off and on a sound like "marbles" coming from the engine bay, it seems more predominant while im parked. I tossed it to being a bad water pump but i was just informed that the water pump wont make that noise. Could it be the idler pullies?

sergo

run it without a belt(s) for a minute and see if the noise is gone.

Have you ever dropped a nut/bolt/washer in the engine compartment that you never found, and have you checked for an lose nut/bolt/bracket?

Well this noise never came about till i got my new alternator, never found touqe specs so i snugged them up as best as i could. the only thing that has ever been removed from the front of the motor is the alternator.


I will try the belt test tonight or tomorrow
