Odd squeal from backside of motor Okay, so for the past couple of days I have noticed an odd squeal coming from my motor, at first I thought it was belt related, but that is not the case.
Using my stethiscope(sp?) I found out that it is coming from the backside of the motor. It isn't the release bearing or the pilot bearing because when you shutdown the motor even after it has stopped moving the squeal kind of winds down like an air pressure leak only it has the pitch of a belt squeal. Any ideas? Thanks guys. -Rich
Edit: Would it help if I told you that the squeal doesn't happen if I don't pass the ~4,500rpm mark and will not go away until I turn the engine off for at least 5 min. or else it will still be there when I start it back up.
