intermediat shaft?

Settled In
Is the ticking the same or half engine revs?
NB - the intermediate shaft and cam shaft go round at half revs, the crank pulley - which drives the water pump and alternator via the fan belt - goes round at engine rev speed.
Easiest way to check is probably to put a white blob of paint on the crank pulley (or watch an ovious mark on it) and see of the tick is once per revolution, or once every two revolutions.
Are both the bolts holding the intermediate pulley on done up tight? If one came loose it might rub on the pulley 8O .
Check also the distributor - might be something adrift in there.
