Power Steering Pump

So i took the belt off my car to replace it and i have a nice sound of a tick... well my dad says it sounds like a pulley... WTF.. so i checked all the pullies and i was turning the powersteering pulley and going back and forth it sounds like the bearing is just F**ked up... you guys think that is the sound... it sounded like a loud ticking sound... we thought it was the valves... but i torqued them all down and check the Pushrods and nothing is bad... what you all think?

Sounds like a good start

see when it gets hotter the sound goes away..

lots of ticks will do that, the best bet is to try to locate where exactly it is come from. I get a lot of valve train noise on my 02WS6

run the engine without the belt for a short time. as long as you dont kick the shit out of it and run it longer then a minute or so, it shouldnt hurt anything. By doing this, you are eliminating anything accessory related. this will help you pinpoin having an actual engine problem. being that you spun the pully on the power steering pump and you hear a clicking sound, thats typically not good lol. I would think this is more then likely your problem.

Well lets see back in the day about 3 years ago.. i was doing donuts in the parking lot... and the shaft of my Power steering pump broke... so i drove my car with no powersteering for about a month... then some jack ass hit me in the front... and i got the thing replaced...

I will see im going to take the pulley off 2morrow if its not raining..
