Thanks for some good suggestions guys.

I'll recheck the alternator pulley and the belt.

The whirring/spinning sound seems to be coming from the clutch area, somewhere under the shifter.

I'll check the suggestions for possible exhaust leaks. I just read on another forum that roller engines like this inherently make the ticking noise. If no exhaust leaks maybe everything's fine? I actually like the ticking sound if it's supposed to be normal.
