Message I'd not drive it any more. Pull the Timing Belt and check the Idlers..

I had my '95 NA Chirping, and then start dropping Shinny little balls on the parking lot.. It was the ball bearings from the Timing Belt Idler in the center of the head valley.. I was SECONDS away from total chaos and did not even know it..

Towed the car back to the house and found the problem..

I was very glad 'we' decided not to drive it..

You could be headed down the same path.. I'd not chance it..
