alright i put the new pulley on and the noise is still there. I can't get my head down far enough to listen closer but I can't figure this out! I got CRC belt conditioner and hit all the belts, no change. Its weird though, when I had the a/c pulley off I lightly rotated the pulley above it that had the now-slack belt around it and when it was coming in slight contact with the belt while rotating it made a familiar noise...sounds like if the rotations increased so would the sound and that would be the culprit, but reinstalled everything correctly and conditioned to no luck. I believe its coming from the left side of the engine now...should I be looking at the water pump?
Another note, its by far most audible when I'm slightly on the gas. I had my girlfriend hold it down slightly while my head was above the engine and man its loud, just wish I could pinpoint it!!!!! Its driving me absolutely nuts now
