hardcore whining.

[1QUICK4]

The only way to get my car to stop whining is if i push in the clutch and take it VERY easy and let it warm all the way up before i move it.

This is what confused me then... When I say start up I mean until your at operating temp.

his timing belt is fine... its not that tight, mine is a lot tighter than his and yet mine doesnt sqeak. i can almost gaurantee its the alternater seein you did strip the bolt out and dont have the tensioner bolt that holds pressure against the alternater! plus when it was sqealing before it was also the alternater belt, felt the belt and it was hot from it slipping and causing friction. you need to figure a way to bolt that down so it doesnt move.

if thats the case, ill throw a couple tack welds on it heh. Unless someone has the proper bolt for it. Time to get a hold of QPR again.. muhaha. However, There are more problems than just the squeek jake, beyond the belts and all that. you werent very careful with some shit.

It is through all gears, and it is off and on. When the clutch goes it, most of it goes away usually.. mostly all of it . it could be the alternator belt, but since its coming from the back side of the engine bay, i must think its the Tbelt. I dont know, several ppl have seen it and i was told to get tensioners, balance shaft belt, and loosen up the Tbelt a little bit. I dont htink ne one noticed the ghetto rig on the alternator tho.. ill look into that further..

i wasnt carefull? how do you figure... and it was your idea to reuse all the tensioners! i just did what you wanted me to, and that was get your car running. and the way you have that alternater ghetto rigged in there which i am glad i didnt take part in, tells me it has to be that! the belt is probably slipping on the harmonic balancer there for you would hear the sqeal towards the rear/bottom of the motor-

im trying to think of how i can fix it. The bolt hole is bigger than its supposed to be from when the bolt broke in and we retapped it.. hmm..

[john]

If you retapped it, why don't you use the right size bolt (the size you tapped it to)? Seems like an easy fix to me. I would not weld it on. How would you loosen the tension on the blet then?

[stikx]

the eclipse was making the noise and bam water pump goes so does all the belts..had to reaplace all of them

[Pimpin Dsmstyle]

hmmm...

[EclipseGST]

post whore... lol

he didnt retap it, what happened is he put the wrong thread pitch bolt in and it stipped out all the threads so he drilled it out and put a longer bolt in with a nut on the other end. but it doesnt get tight enough to hold it in one place, i tried to tighten it twice and i gave up cause its ghetto.
