Don't have the guide pulley? I've got a De-AC setup and still use both pulleys? It could still be bearings in other components though, alt or PAS pump maybe.
If the crank pulley was a pattern part, it wouldn't be uncommon to fail that quickly so I'd still check anyway lol.
I wouldn't 'think' it'll be a timing belt tensioner, they seem to made to a much better standard and last a lot longer than the aux ones, in my experience but don't rule it out.
Seems odd to be so much time in between though. Have you left it for a while or anything? Could even be a drained lifter filling back up if its been sat...
