Michael.
Hmmmmm..........
Sounds like the front pulley a little loose to me.  Had a similar
problem on the BJ8 - frightened me to death 'cos I was sure it was a big
end at first.

Let us know what you find.

The noise is easiest to hear at idle,and has a hollow sound which
decreases 
as the engine is revved.  It almost seems to go away as the rpm's
increase.  I 
do not have a stethescope and it is difficult for me to pinpoint its
location, 
but it seems loudest when I am crouching in front of the grille--what
does a 
timing chain sound like when it is loose and/or failing?
