Re: valve clatter

It's possible that the missing bolt in the oil pump housing caused wear in the pump, which lowered your oil pressure - causing some bearing problem.

Sorry, just guessing

Since he changed spring color, I wonder if the spring color has to match a specific idler pulley. Since the two springs have different tensions, there may be two idler pulley assemblys that are not interchangable. You might check to see if there are two different part numbers for the idler pulley assembly.
