Re: Clackity clack don't talk back

Replace the bearings in the 2 idler pulleys. While the "vee" belt is 
off rotate the pulley on the A/C compressor and make sure it turns 
smoothly with no roughness. You will also need an "O" ring seal when 
you replace the bearings. If the belt is origional you may want to 
replace it also.

held taught. Or perhald the exhaust is the culpret.. loose manifold or 
gasket.The thing is the car purrs like a kitty cat when at idle or low 
RPM and it's only when accelerating it makes the clacking. Performance 
is not effected... Sounds like it may be originating from the passeger 
side of the engine compartment..I've listened around but can't 
pinpoint the noise. anyone else had similiar sounds? any ideas? -James
