ok this past week i'd figure id treat my mark 8 to a new radiator(it had a slow leak), new water pump, 200 amp alternator, and a set of underdrive pulleys. It all went smooth, but when i started it i noticed a rather loud tapping coming from the passenger side of the engine. I took the belt off and ran it(to rule out all the accessories) and it is still there. The car never made any noise before, it doesent even make any rattle on startup. What or where do you guys think this noise came from all of a sudden? However in a rush to get the car done i did try to hammer on the balancer. I gave it a few quick shots with a hammer and a block of wood.(after about 10 hits, i drove across the island and borrowed the correct tool)Now im scared this thing is gonna let go.
