You know I'm a professional technician, right?

I have a better quality belt on the way (I had thrown the old one back on there (autozone durashit belt) so I ordered one of the gatorback "quiet" belts, if that doesn't help I'll give you a call.

Re: SERIOUSLY OT: Calling all chicks! IT'S PART 6!!

Well, I shot that using a K20 idea in the face... I started pricing all the items I'd need, and I was rapidly approaching what a complete F20 swap would cost... so since the car is going to need a good bit of attention aside from the engine, I'm dialing it back a little.
Looking like I'm going to use a plain ol' 4AGE, similar to what came original in AE86 Corollas.

4AGE is a fun engine. Go for it.

Also update #83 of Why I Design Jewelry Not Work On Cars... new belt fixed the squeal. Never buying cheap belts ever again.

Spoke too soon.....


After a day the noise is back.... more of a constant chirp this time... and after the engine warms up on a 20 minute drive or so it goes away entirely.

Normally I would say that's the sign of a dirty or glazed belt, but since you just put a new belt on there, I'd be looking more toward putting the blame on one of the pulleys... perhaps dirty, or just worn out.

Hard to really say without hearing or seeing for myself.... at the moment, I can't even remember what kind of belt Jeep uses.. and I just worked on a Cherokee two months ago. But I am very sleepy from a hard days work and baby getting me up 4 times a night.

Day after I put it on I took a wire brush and some 80g sandpaper to the pulleys, they had a lot of rubber build up in the groves (standard 7 rib serpentine belt btw). If it stays the same I'm not going to fuck with it anymore. If it slowly reverts back to full time squeal I'm going to light it on fire and collect the $8 insurance check.

I guess a few weeks have went by, its no better or worse. It might actually be a little on the better side. I'm tempted to give it a tiny squirt of wd40 to see if it fixes it entirely lol. But its still just a small squeak/chirp when cold, after warms up entirely its quiet.

Well, that's not too terrible.
Nothing worth setting it on fire for.

About to hit 210k. Still runs smooth, but I can tell it doesn't have the power it used to. Probably needs a good tune up. I know the plugs/cap/rotor have 80k on them. I need to change all the diff fluids and stuff too. Meh, old vehicle maintenance is almost as much as a car payment.

Don't I know it! I've been thinking long and hard about trading my civic for something new and stock and comfortable to commute in... with ABS! I feel like the 8" wide wheels and tires have ruined it. I have to run so much negative camber just to fit them, they grab every groove and bump in the road... they also oversteer unpredictably, which is odd sometimes. The excess negative camber also cause the upper control arms to Bang hard against the top of the wheel wells wherever I hit even small bumps (the geometry is way different at -3.5°+ of camber than at -1.2°).

Yeah that's a lot of camber of a wide tire. ABS would be nice sometimes lol. I've had to lock up my brakes once since being here... gotta love when some jack hole decides they need in your lane right this very moment, then slams on the brakes 2 inches in front of you when they realize that lane is not moving any faster than theirs.

Heh, had a lady in an Escalade rear end me a red light yesterday then drive off. My trailer hitch took the impact though , so oh well. Goddamn drivers though..... I never understood hitting someone then driving off.
