Roller Bearing?
Hi All,
I am hearing a noise underneath the cam belt cover on the drivers side. After some investigation, I have discovered that this could be a roller bearing for the cam belt!!
The question is: If it turns out to be a roller bearing, can it be fixed without doing a complete timing belt job? Can the roller bearing(s) be replaced without taking everything apart? Finally, has anyone done this repair and is there a writeup anywhere on the procedure? I will search the archives now but any info would be greatly appreciated as you can guess.

Bernie-
If indeed the rolers are shot - may as well replace the Tbelt and H2O pump as well.
The entire front must be disassembled anyway, makes sense to just go ahead and do it all WYAIT (also minimizes the chances that you'll have to back in in the next year).
