Think its from the timing belt idler closest to the battery but not really sure. Car had squeeled a couple times on start but today was constant,


Below is a video so you can get an idea of what I mean.

Also noticed the timing belt is ripped so that is something we will be tackling before we get the suspension sorted.


What is the best timing belt kit to go with, I found one on ebay for just over 200$ shipped to my door that claims to be using AISIN products

u have an issue with a pulley in ur drive system..tensioner..idler..alt..etc. take the belt off and turn all ur pulleys by hand and see if one is particularly harder to spin than the rest

that's what I figured and ill find when i do the timing belt, in the picture I posted above of the right side of the distributor has the timing belt guide on both sides. the left distributor only has the guide on the side closest to the block wondering if that is normal?
