The dealer change my belt, Water pump, and head gasket at 56k when I bought it. Since they changed it, I noticed a ticking sound from the top of the black plastic cover that goes over the timing belt. If I pull the cover Towards the passenger side fender the noise goes away. My mechanic said they may have bent the pulley by prying the belt off or using a hammer to get off the pulley. Is this a problem or can I just use washers to move the cover back so the noise is gone?

When I first got my car it did the same thing. It is just the cover rubbing on the moving parts. Just push it to where it doesnt make the noise anymore and it should stay.

How loud was the clicking sound? My car is making sounds that make my toes curl! Most of the time it isn't that loud but other times it drives me nutts! It sounds like someone is throwing pieces of metal at my belts. It all started after my dealer changed my timeing and acc. belts plus my water pump (which seemed to be working fine and not leaking). The sound seems to be coming from my power steering or my AC compressor. Can anyone help me out with finding out what this is?
