May be your timing belt tensioner pulley. Those bearings make some noise when toasted.

You might be able to locate the noise using a home-made stethoscope. I use a 3' long piece of garden hose. A stick of wood pressed between the engine and the side of the head could also work.Original owner of silver grey carburetted 1989 Festiva. 105k km as of June 2006. 140k km as of June 2021.Comment

Possibly timing belt alignment washer put on backwards but only if that area was tampered with recently.Comment

Where is the washer? I am away from my car stuff.Comment

The washer is the next thing to go on the crankshaft sprocket after the timing belt. It is slightly dished to prevent rubbing the belt. If it is backwards it will rub. This would be an immediate issue after timing belt replacement. It won't happen later.Originally posted by denguy View PostComment
