engine squeaking

[gjp]

My engine is squeaking and I cant tell from where. Its from inside or rear or engine. Sounds like a bad belt but with a hose I listened and I did not hear it from the front. It makes my Knock go up. does not change the way the engine runs. Only happenends after warmed up and I pull in to idle.Squeaks for about 10 seconds then stops??

except for the squeak It pulls hard and feels good. cant wait to boost over 10lbs on her.

First I'd remove the belt just to be sure, could be anything up front. Just a :2cents: gut reaction but maybe a dry top bearing in the dist? Or maybe it's not the engine at all just sounds like it.

Re: engine squeaking

hard to pull the belt because the sound goes away so fast and is not always there. Only for a few seconds at idle after i drive it hard. Thinking spun bearing or dist. like you said but why only a few seconds? Has to be the rear to affect the knock sensor?
BTW Don I will be moving a friend up in in your area next week. about 10min north of the track. Now I have a place to spend the night when I go up there.

Cool! What town? Guessing Shellville if it's only 10mins.

she will be living in Sonoma. So when I drive up there to race, I can spend the night at her house and drive back the next day.

I have till next weekend to get it smoged. Soon as I figure out a few problems with the truck I will be up there. It feels good right now. Trans is great. What a difference over the 700r. at least my blown 700r. Not sure if the noises i hear are problems of me just being too carefull.
