The Most Annoying Noise.....

[dan filipi]

I'm thinkin brake squeal?

 

[joedrum]

tensioner is starting to to go bad ...low rpm is were it will make noise first ...once rev it smoothes ...useally happens under load on motor some ...changed tensioner and never heard it again ...so im thinking that was it

 

[dan filipi]

Fetacheese, does it make the same noise when stopped at the same rpm's?

That will tell if it's a wheel noise or an engine noise.

 

[joedrum]

belt tensioner sorry greek cheese

 

[joedrum]

mine always seemed under load mostly and when cold ...but would squeal on throttle up some but always ceasing to to make noise ...just a guess fetacheese

Nope, just when idling while moving at a bout 10-15 mph.
Pull the clutch in and the noise gets interrupted for a second or two than continues.
Thanks.

Could it be wind and road noise overcome it when moving faster?

Try rolling with engine off in neutral an see if it's still there.

Clutch release bearing or starter clutch? Put it on the centerstand, start it up, put it in gear and try locating the noise.

 

[Steve83]

That's exactly what it is.

 

[Ansimp]

Yes

 

[joedrum]

no problem ...im sure that the way one is going out has its own tendencies of how it noise is

I didn't know Dunkin offered Fetacheese for their bagels! :hihihi:

no if you remove tensioner it needs to be retimed you be awful lucky not to have to ...

 

[dan filipi]

With help you might be able to pull the tensioner and put the new one in it's place while keeping tension on the belt. Line up the timing marks prior to trying this.

Might try spraying it with a little litheim lube first.

 

[Ansimp]

I wouldn't put any lube around the timing belt if it was me. You need to change the tensioner ASAP as when it fails you will do damage to the engine. That said I have seen them last for ages and I have seen others not make a noise and fail.

If you are in there you may as well do the job. You may be able to do the job without resetting the timing. If you rotate the engine to where the valves are rocking on the side that you want to change then the marks should not move when you release the belt tension. Use a marker to make a reference point before you remove the belt tension so if the cam does move at least you will know where to set it again. When you have changed the tensioner make sure that you rotate the engine by had a couple of times and check the timing marks.

I'd add to that, loosen the valve adjusters all the way loose. Will help free up valve spring pushing the cam out of place.

How old are the belts? They're cheap at Amazon.com, and you might as well change 'em while you're in there.
