The new part is $150, not worth risking machining an old one, just buy the new one IMO

So the belt was bad? Not the bracket? My car sounds like SUCH a POS, I can't stand it, I hate driving my car, over a year now I have a new belt, all new pullys, everything, I need it FIXED NOW!!!!!!!!

On mine I had this noise when I bought it and the guy said he just did a timing belt and balance shift belt on it..

I replaced my cams and redid the timing with the gates belts and found the balance shaft idler pulley was on the wrong way. The lip is supposed to be on the outside of the belt he had it on the inside and it was causing the balance shaft belt to rub the motor.

After putting it back together all noise gone and it sounded EXACTLY like the noise in the video!.

Hope it helps someone else in the future.
