What causes back / forth play in the blower? I was noticing this sound which I had before, and had assumed it was from the bowed valve springs. Only now, it's on the other side of the engine. It may be noisy rocker arms, but not sure. In my hunting for the problem, I removed the blower belt, and turned it by hand, and noticed that when you turn the blower puller one way, and then the other, there is a lag in between. Now, the blower worked fine when taken off, and sat, covered in the garage for the last 9 months. I think the sound i'm hearing may be from the blower, but not sure. I still need to iron out the exhaust leaks by the collectors. Could an exhaust leak echo through the header/ engine compartment and make a tap like sound? The sound slows and speeds up with the rpms of the engine. Any help greatly appreciated.
P.S. Tried to fire up the car with the blower belt removed, but gas has hit critical and car is givin me crap about starting and keepin runnin.
