ok so after the headache that was this weekend, my car is still making a rpm dependent swooshing/howling noise. Almost sounds like a modified Supercharger reving.
cliff on this weekend:
-ordered 5efe Paseo parts for (water pump, timing belt, seal kit and accessory belt) my water pump bearing was shot
- disassemble front side of motor, marked timing (thank god!)
-replaced the cam/crank seals
-took water pump out of box, noticed it is the same pump, but has a bolt on style pully design (but no pully)...the 4e water pump has a press on pully
- Marked the new belt next to the old....notice there are 4 extra teeth....after counting it 5 times
-"old" timing belt was only 15k miles old, so i just reused it
-searched 2 junk yards for a "bolt on" style pully for the water pump, finding one out of a 3ee Tercel.
-retensioned and tightened everything
-filled oil/coolant
-started it up
the car runs fine, new water pump definitely much better.....but now the motor makes a weird howling/whirling noise...almost to me as if the alt belt was too tight. So i loosened it. Still there. So i completely took the Alt/water pump belt off. STILL THERE! ...so i loosened the timing belt tensioner slightly to see if by some weird chance that was too tight.....still makes the sound, so i tighted it up as much as possible. Yep still there.
It got way too late to be working on my car, so i just called it a day. My best guess is that something is rubbing the outter crank pully...maybe the timing cover or possibly a faulty tensioner....anyone else got some words of advice?
