A L 3 X Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) Recently had my head gasket done and head rebuilt with new water pump cambelt kit etc and I think it seems to be since then, wondering if its anything to worry about or not? Maybe just the alternator belt a little tight? Seems to do it when revving it a little bit like so:http://s169.photobucket.com/albums/u210/_A_L_3_X_/?action=view¤t=6DA9547F-50E4-4B13-B3B6-53AA327DFB32-768-0000003C603AFA01_zps967e0792.mp4 Any ideas?

Liam_D Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Mine makes this noise, no where near as loud as that though. Quote
A L 3 X Posted March 18, 2013 Author Posted March 18, 2013 It's not loud as the video makes it seem mate, I held the phone as close as possible or it wouldn't be noticeable lolAny ideas? Quote
Liam_D Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Ahh right that makes sense, ive always thought it was my breather filter on my catch tank?? Have no idea though. lol Quote
A L 3 X Posted March 18, 2013 Author Posted March 18, 2013 It might be the one on my rocker but I'm sure it wasn't there prior to the work hence me thinking a belt :/ Quote
turbo Grant Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Bet some one done the cam belt too tight. that will make it whine / hum Quote
Sefton-EP91 Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Bet some one done the cam belt too tight. that will make it whine / hum Agree Quote
A L 3 X Posted March 18, 2013 Author Posted March 18, 2013 It was done by tuning developments so I'd hope not?How easy is it to fix? Quote
turbo Grant Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Just a case of undoing the tensioner nut if the spring is on and doing it back up. Best to take the cover off if your unsure rather than going throw the service hole. Or get someone else to chech the tension Quote
A L 3 X Posted March 19, 2013 Author Posted March 19, 2013 Ah so it's not a difficult job? Ill email Td now see what they say Quote
Jamie1st Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Check the lower cover isn't rubbing against the crank pully, had this happen to me over the weekend Quote
A L 3 X Posted March 19, 2013 Author Posted March 19, 2013 I'll have a look tomorrow mate, hope its easily fixed :/ Quote
rob_bower Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 If the cambelt has been over tightened it can starve the cams of oil which is never good. Quote
A L 3 X Posted March 19, 2013 Author Posted March 19, 2013 I'm gonna take it back to Td mate and they're gonna have a look at it for me!Cheers lads Quote
Danza V Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Mine was too tight and it did that, retensuoned and all good Quote
A L 3 X Posted March 22, 2013 Author Posted March 22, 2013 Took it back up to Td and they've said it's fine, it would apparently make the noise on idle as well if it had been over tightened Quote
