I can trailer to wherever it needs to go. I cant seem to find where it is coming from or what to do to fix it. Help!
thx: Kldob

Are any of the pulleys loose? can you wiggle any of them when the engine is OFF!!
I would use a belt conditioner to rule out the belt.
If you have a long screw driver, you can carefully place the tip of the screwdriver on the generator/alternator, valve cover ect. put your ear on the handle end and listen. (be careful around moving parts)

| | | | | Joined: Sep 2016 Posts: 18 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Sep 2016 Posts: 18 | A while back I posted about a squeak in the engine that increased with rpms. I found it! it turns out that the person that replaced the okie bearing dented the flywheel inspection into the flywheel. I would have never guessed it. It sounded like a dry bearing.
anyway it is fixed now.
