didn't think of that. Looked at the belt and didn't see anthing but
didn't look that close and I have been going through some construction
areas and definitly have been picking up rocks.
Easy enough to pull the belt off and look.

Re: odd ticking
I noticed the same on mine .Was sweating for a bit , hmm, a lifter, a
bearing..but I relized it was something so silly. I did the old ear
searching for the noise and found it. The item was that vacuum relay for
emission just left of the valve cover. It clatters for a while then stops. I
noiced from inside.. and sure enough when I hear that noise happened it's
that nutty valve.
That damn thing makes enough noise ..LOL
