It helped that I mis-diagnosed the idler pulley first, which is close by.At least you know what it is
Always good to have a spare used idler pulley.

I put a spare tensioner pulley on, but that didn't help

Hmm.. leaning to exhaust blow at the mo. Did a compression test and you can hear it blowing clearly without the engine running

Take the oil cap off and rev her up..
See if the sound gets worse.

Hope not!
It does sound like it's from the manifold somewhere. It needs to come off for inspection

What's the house pipe trick?

Use a small length of pipe to your ear and the other end around the area to help track the leak. Mmmm, with care!!!

When i did a compression test the other day, only heard it from one cylinder so i think that rules out the downpipe joint
I'm going to try putting a vac on the tail pipe, see if i can hear it under suction. Hose pipe may still prove useful!!

I think that involves loud repetitive music, flashing lights, cannibis resin and a piece of kit called a bong.
