Thanks again for the advice Brad/Sondeen. The new belt, pulleys and tensioner have been installed, although the labor charge seemed high. The shop I used had been reasonable in the past and while the tensioner doesn't seem like the easiest thing to get to, I wasn't expecting $300. On top of that, although this was maintenance that probably needed to be done anyway, it didn't get rid of the noise that I thought had been coming from the belt/pulleys. Also, the change to 0W-40 synthetic didn't get rid of the leak at the distributor hole after all. I might try some high-temp silicone sealant to fix that. I'll start a new thread re. the noise I'm hearing.
