The engine has always had a growl but resently we had to replace harmonic balancer , about 900 miles ago since then the noise is getting louder and it's starting to lose power . Could it be as simple as Ajusting the belts ? Note about the noise I'm pretty sure the noise is a bent lifter? I'm no mechanic , But I do have a general idea about it .... Just need a direction to go . Thanks in advance

for noises like this have a local mechanic check it out normally there is no charge, if it's a bent lifter what you call may actually be a cam lobe wearing out.
