I don't think it's the pcv valve since I replaced that when I replaced my water pump and belts too. (It was making this loud whistling sound if I remember correctly)
man...looks like I have to go open it up and remove the valve cover.
MPWR, If/when I move the car into the garage tomorrow I'll feel the front of the motor and see if I can feel the rattling.

Anybody know of a DIY anywhere on the internet for the chain tensioner? (I haven't searched yet, but would like to see if anybody knows of any off hand)

I was looking at this picture (Hopefully the right one)

For the tensioner, am I looking at #17 or 21? or both?
Hopefully I'll have the time to work on it and get back to you guys.
Thanks again!!

EDIT: Just in case, so I don't have to dig it up again later....
