So I finished my little cam install yesterday, car runs awesome other then the idle a bit low. But I am now getting this whine, sounds like when the alternator would be taking a shit on a older car! It's not very loud but I can hear it when I rev the engine and drive it. It does not do it at idle, starts just before 2k would say. It's driving me crazy, I did have a little misshap with some coolant, got all over the front of the engine. Could it be the air conditioner, sounds like an electrical wine to me.

I do have about 3 hrs of driving already, and beat the piss out of it for the last hour :D and I am not noticing anything at all wrong with the car other then it's pretty beast! I have to figure this noise out though :bang:

Did you accidentally install a supercharger?

Did you change timing chain with cam?

No I reused the stock chain, also stayed with a single bolt so the cam went in same as stock.
