Maybe the CAS, put your hand on it to check

How can you tell exactly it doesnt seem to be vibrating or anything but i did the old end of the screwdriver trick to listen in and does seem to be the loudest there? Could it just be in the wrong position or faulty its noticbly louder though since after installing the belt if that helps :S

My CAS had a dry(ish) bearing that was quite loud. Didnt realise thats what the noise was till I pulled the CAS off when checking everything over. It wasnt spinning smooth at all. Put a new CAS on and all good. Not sure if that will be your problem but not hard to check. Just mark where it was sitting before you take it off or re-check your timing when you put it back on

Its the cam cover. Put pressure on the top driver side and it should go away. No idea how you fix it, alot of rb motors do it.

yep. mine is the same. took the cam cover off n noise went away...

Im having it put back on atm n asking the place to put it back on with some rubber washers to stop the noise as it seems to be harmonic as it only occurs at a certian rmp range (around idle)

will let you know if i find a fix...

Well i originaly thought it was the timing belt or bearing etc... but i had it recently replaced with a whole new gates racing belt kit which came with new Idler Bearing etc

which actually appears to have made the noise louder.

Can only hear it at idle, drove it the other day got back home had a listen nothing noise wasnt there.

Comes and goes it seems. But always comes after a min after a cold start and slowly gets louder.

yep. this is also the same situation as me. was worse after changing all the necessary bits n also varies in how n when it will do it. But usually when it is cold is when i can hear mine...

Its so embarrassing that it only happens on idle cos most of the time that is the only thing people will hear around you when on the lights.

Gates racing belt + aircon + idle is f**kING HORRIBLE. I switch my AC off because if that f**king sound.

The harmonic balancer isn't the issue(I hope you're not changing it for that). The noises come from 3 things; 1) The gates racing belt, especially when warm 2) Old bearings 3) The cam cover. I put brand new everything, bearings, belt, rubber grommets on the cam cover. I RARELY get the cam cover sound. Bearing noise is gone, timing belt(the whirr when the AC is on or the engine is warm) is still there. If I do the belt again, I will NEVER get a gates belt. Stock or Nismo.

Yea i know it isnt the issue the rubber is starting to crack hince why im changing it, I rarely hear a noise when its warm or gone for a drive its when i start it up and a min later it occurs and sometimes when ever.

Bearings were replaced so only option could be the cam cover possibly but ill check again when i do the balancer. I also agree allot people have been hating the gates belt for the common noise etc I'll probably do the same thing.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
