A Very Nasty Noise Became Nastier.
Posted: Tue Apr 07, 2009 6:10 pm
Lucky I was wearing me new whizz bang hearing aids,
or I may have missed it.
Was coming from front of motor somewhere,
I was thinking alternator bearing, or similar.
I finaly found the noise with a garden hose in my better ear,
moving the other end around, till the nasty sound got louder.
After disassembly of entire timing belt etc,
it was found to be a rubber gasket,
behind the rear piece that timing belt cover fits to.
It was too thick, thus it was slowly distorting the cover,
till it hit the timing pulley.
Glad I found it before things went astray.
