Ive just tightened a cambelt on a YB and the belt is whining a lot, I have backed the tensioner off a little but what is making thenoise is it the cam bearings or the tensioners bearings or?
I have just backed it off a bit, sound has stopped so all sorted, new tensioner is on the list of things to do next ASAP
I can just turn the belt 90 o deg on the right hand side and its not slapping about so all good
THATS EXACTLY WHAT MINE WAS DOING CHANGED EVERYTHING , TENSIONER ETC, LOOSENED THE BELT JUST A LITTLE AND THE NOISE WENT .FOUND THAT THE BELT TIGHTENED ITSELF SLIGHTLY WHEN THE ENGINE GOT HOT AND THATS WHEN THE NOISE APPEARED, SO I ADJUSTED MINE WITH THE ENGINE HOT AND ITS BEEN FINE SINCE
