what could this be!? took belt off still making it. water pump??? help a guy out lol

 

Did you link something??? if so It's not there

 

lol lovely. love phones sometimes..

 

Hum... Could try using a little wd40 on one thing at a time and see if it goes away. Start with the water pump drive seal at the timing cover and then the bearing on the water pump and down to the crank hub seal.

 

How olds the belt tentioner? Bearing could be going.

 

did you start it with out the belt

 

Check the alternator could be a bearing going south internal.

 

i took the belt off and it was still making the sound. im taking the water pump off tomorrow and then will start it again... hoping its not the opti and its just the waterpump

 

Is it an auto or 6speed? If it's a 6 speed it could also be a throughout bearing. Does the sound change if the clutch is pushed in.

 

6speed.. and nope sound dont change i ruled that out already

 

i have the same issue after an over-rev last week. thought i spun a bearing, but it is narrowed down to a bent valve, bad guide, or maybe a bad lifter. after warming motor, i ran it at 4000 rpm for 1 minute, noise would come and go, but motor did not grenade.

 

mine wasnt an over-rev. it was fine before work then i got in car to leave work and it was making the noise. waterpump should be coming off today ill update the thread

 

Sounds like a waterpump going south. Thats if the belt was not on and that noise was still there.

 

well im extremely upset at myself after this. i got my waterpump off and when i did bearings and **** fell out of the back. When i saw that i was relieved!!!! theres my stupid noise! right!? nope. its the opti. started the car and wouldnt ya know its still making the same noise. pos. now i gotta redo everything. i shoulda double checked anyway! so upset at myself

 

Thats what you get for looking stuff over, next time just put in some ear plugs and ignore the noise....lol
