Hi Paulie,
Try tightening the 4 long bolts that hold the fan on. It's possible they could be a little loose, and that will cause things to look "off kilter". You're probably getting a belt noise out of it, and you should probably replace the belt after making sure things are back in line. It you want to shut it up temporarily, just spray some WD-40 right on the belt as it's running. That only works for a while though...

: Okay... forgot to mention that after the nasty exaust noise was gone I was finally able to track down that annoying untracible sound in her engine...(Thank GAWD! I thought I'd thrown a rod or something!)
: From what I can see the pully where the fan is attached appears to be... "off kilter" is the best way I can discribe it... it looks like it's at a SLIGHT angle and I'm postive that's where the sound is comming from...
: Expensive? or just an annoyance till I can get it done?
