box of tampons most likely. i think i have found the problem. the alternator pulley that sits next to the power steering pulley right underneath the motor mount, are not sitting next to each other. they are about a half inch apart. that makes the alt belt go crooked a little. the first time i shredded it, the belt was hanging off the alternator and at the close side of the pulley. this time, the pulley was making hecka noise and once the belt shredded it stopped, and the belt was sitting at the rear of the pulley and the front of the alternator(thus making the belt straight again). i think the clanking noise was the belt wobbling the pulley around. oh well, it is apart but i am getting ready to eat some chili so it will have to wait for about 1/2 an hour. hopefully, this will be the last time she bleeds for a while, the cost of tampons and the clean up time is killing me!! nothing else could really go wrong with this car cept skipping about 15 teeth and bending my valves, this has been one of the worst experiences in my life working on this car. i do think problems are happening because of hurried work though. i am taking my sweet time doing this, i have been at it for about 1.5 hours and have just now gotten it apart.(just pulled the motor mount off, pulled the turbo heat shield off, pulled one fan out, took the alt belt off, pulled timing belt inspection cover off) ha ha.
