Re: How to ruin a cylinder head? Or, Yes I'm a dumb-a**!!

I would have to say that you have bent the metal sheild behind the 
intermediate shaft pulley. You have 2 options. one, remove the sheild and 
attempt to bend it back into place or, two, run it until the noise goes 
away. The noise will go away if you choose option 2.
