Nothing is protruding, just all of it does not appear to be there. Will find out for sure when I install my new alternator if the sound goes away.
Read post #6, it shows a pulley with the elastomer (rubber) missing in half of the pulley. If yours is like that it is a potential grenade and over time liable to damage bearings on the crankshaft. This will be noisy and vibrate due to the imbalance.
We all should look for damage like this.
