[V8] V8 steam engine

Pull the accessory drive belt and run the engine.  This will isolate the
timing belt rollers, bearings, water pump, etc. and possibly yield some good
news.

OK, 210K miles on the car and the timing belt, idler bearings etc were  
last replaced at 160K.
For some time I've had a noise coming from the timing belt area, upper  
left when I face the engine from the front.
It sounded like a roller bearing or something. Well, I've been  
ignoring it until now, but its beginning to sound like a steam engine  
with a regular chugging and various rough /grinding noises.
Is this the idler pulley and adjusting rollers going bad, or does  
whatever the camshaft spins in, go bad?

(And I was trying so hard to get the car through until the end of her  
last year at college!)

Anyone want to buy a V8 steam engine?

Mark.
