I'm not too sure wtf it is now... i've checked over a few things but i want other peoples opinions on the subject first as well.

Timing belt was replaced awhile ago, (3-4 Months) and since then i've driven it daily. My current issue is that it wasn't noisy... but now it is, and it becomes concerning when i can hear it over my turbo.

I know from checking it, that it's coming from the left pulley, i just want to know what other people think it is.

It's driving me nuts!!!

Plus, want to know if it's a good or bad idea to run my car without it's belt cover.... because it was a bitch to get off.

@JJman, Just a Dayco Timing belt was the replacement and no the sound is exactly the same with the cover on and off.

@Moodles, Thanks for clearing that up.

@Dobz, Really? Because the sound is LOUDEST from the Left cam pulley but i'll give it a go and see what happens.

It was replaced proffesionally at a shop, but no i don't think the bearings were changed.

I agree with Dobz ask for an invoice stating that the bearings were changed.

(Side comment)Recently got my timing belt done for shits because I didn’t know if it had been done at 100,000Km and my mechanic recommended that the bearings be changed as well . (car doesn’t back fire now)

Do u live in a dusty area because I know with trucks that i drive get squeaky belts because a glaze has built up on the pulley from bull dust and alike (because i didn’t care i just put a bit of soapy water around the problem area and the sound would go away)

?

I can't believe the belt was changed, but not the bearings as well, and by the sounds of it the crank and cam seals weren't done either.

I don't think its really practical to do a front seal with a timing belt change. Cam half moons maybe but this can be done easily anytime, I didn't do mine in my 100,000km service, did them when I resealed my can covers

And since i've been running the machine without the cover, the CAS has been running fine, was also checked by an RB proffesional and he's happy with how it's set.

Cover will be going back on, but yeah.

mine sounds just like this after i put new cam shafts in, i think i put the idle bearing spring under the stud on the block instead of over,will this cause much harm to the engine?

figure i'll fix it in a few months once i get a carport or it stops raining for awhile

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      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.
