Just replaced ip (with resealed, used ip), tbelt, tensioner, alt. and waterpump belts. Locked cam and ip and timed with dial indicator. this is a 1.6td quantum engine..
started it up and drove a bit (to get air out of fuel lines), started noticing loud squeal/ squeak that seems to be happening about 1 time per engine revolution. reving the engine makes it slightly louder, it never goes away. tbelt doesn't look to be rubbing, wearing oddly/ etc
pulled alternator belt, and (just for a second) water pump belt and squeal persists, so these are not to blame...
I can't narrow down where noise is coming from using piece of hose to my ear as a stethoscope...
tensioner is new, tbelt tension feels correct. I am stumped as to what might be making this noise...?
could it somehow be coming from the ip it's self? this pump was used, with just one of the seals replaced, not fully rebuilt, from an unknown source...
is there any way that the ip could be making noises internally?
could I somehow be one tooth off with the tbelt timing (engine rotated by hand, nothing bad happened)?
what would bad valve/s or valve hitting sound like?
anything to check for that the tbelt itself could be rubbing/ etc?
anything internally in the engine that could be making this noise?
What steps would you suggest to narrow down what is causing this noise.
any advice very greatly appreciated...
thank you!
