First, big props to Blitzu for helping with the install. Everything is installed, now I have an issue.
I start up the car. There is a strong squeel, kind of like a whine. I pulled off the supercharger belt, and changed some pullies. The sound is made when the spercharger moves. well, wometimes it does, sometimes it doesnt. Im not sure where the sound is coming from exactly. I took off the supercharger belt and 275 pulley (thought that was grinding), the engine sounds good at idle, but if the snout moves a little, it makes a squeel. I tried to take off the nut for the snout to check the oil, but that bastard it on TIGHT, is there a way to check the coupler? I think im the third whose asked this in the last 12 hours. The squeeling is the type that is associated with a power steering drag/screech/man i dont know. It is too loud to drive, thats for sure.
The thing is the oil is milky, there is water in it, Im not sure if that is from the coolant that leaked when we installed the IC, or what. What can cause this, what effects can it do.
How to test the heads, or seals without taking everything apart. Should I drain the oil, put new stuff in, see if that does it? Also, how can one detect coolant flow?
Any tips, things to do? The only scanner I have is a LS1M,
I have done a couple searches on clubgp, not much help looking in the past month. Only thing I came up with is a problem with head gaskets. What can I do to verify the issue.
It can idle for a while with no noise, but once boost has entered the equation?
any opinions?
