Loud sqeeking Ok very loud sqeek coming from somewhere in the Belt area. Took off the AC and ran the car still horrible. Replaced both the Tensioner and Idler Pulleys, still sqeeking. Now could it be just the Alt Pulley, or do I need to get inside the ALT and change anything else, or replace ALT? I'm tired of buying stuff and it not fixing the problem. We did just do a Cam swap and this started right after the shake down run. It's really starting to **** me off.

Not the belt. Though I guess I could throw my spare on and see. I was also going to add that the noise starts after the car gets good and warmed up. The noise doesn't sound like belt squeal, more like bearing. And the noise is only really noticeable around idle, and it takes about a second after idle to start.

Ok, it's not part of any of the belt system. I did a LS6 PCV Conversion with my new cam swap. The motor starts squeaking after it's all good and warmed up, and it's only really noticeable at idle. So the squeaking started again, and on a hunch I pulled the dipstick out a little to relieve pressure. Wouldn't you know as soon as I pulled it the noise stopped. So do I still need to add a breather or what, we followed the proceedure on LS1HowToo.com. What am I missing?
