			Huh.  It is most prevalent on the lower passenger side of the motor.  You are talking serpentine belt?  It has had a kind of rubbing sound consistent with engine speed that has been getting louder.  I thought it was worn chain tensioner pads since my 4-6 bank is a bit off on cam timing.  I will take a peek and report back.  Thanks thstone!
 BTW - running this thing momentarily with the belt off will not harm the engine, correct?  Just enough to see if the sound completely disappears, of course...I just want to be sure  :P
