I got my timing done today at a workshop when i sit in park/drive or anything below 20km o can hear what sounds like a whining sound.

Car starts first time no worries and still drives well drives better than b4 i got the timing done.

Suggestions?

I can't see how the 2 can be related. Did you do any other work at the same time? Would your brake pads just happen to be out of material coincidentally? Is sound coming from under bonnet or elsewhere?

got your timing BELT done? or you got your timing adjusted...?

if you suspect the two are related then i'd suggest popping the bonnet and have someone gently rev it from cold - it could just be a slipping belt that they need to tension up more.

Always be careful with timing as we all would be well aware of with chef's issues, Also be careful of what you read on forums.

OVERTIGHT cam belt can make whiring noise.

Gates belts are also known for being a tad noisy if thats what you put on? search it if so heaps of info on the issue.

Idler and tensioner pulley bearings may also be a tad noisy while they bed in.

Its under the bonnet.

After having a quick read it sounds like a few things. Thinking timing belt is on too tight or slipping

Going back first thing in the morning, Changes my plans but oh well trip to melbourne in the beast is going to be a bit later on.

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
