I changed my oil today using 20/50 brad penn, and I changed all the gaskets for the exhaust. the exaust sounds beautiful.
My friend was helping me and I decided to take him home. After driving 5 city blocks, I heard a weird noise like the fan is touching something (squeeking). pulled over turned off the car. I try to start the car, the noise is there as the starter is spining. Pushed the car back home, double check everything, even try to loosen the exhaust, the same thing. The noise looks like its coming from the starter or flyweel. I removed the coil cable so the car wont start, try to start it and there was no noise. I put the cable back, the car started and the noise dissapeared. but each time i start the car i hear the noise as the starter is spinning, except when the coil is unplug. during the oil change, I removed the round plate next to the oil plug by accident at the bottom. I put it back the same way.. is my flyweel loose or is it the starter solenoid? why would the solenoid come out as i am driving? |

If you overtightened the bolt, you could have cracked the boss it goes into ... very bad ..... but I can't see a "squeal" coming from it. Plate does nothing but cover a big hole in the case, and hold the oil strainer in place.
It is possible that the starter solenoid could be questionable and not pulling the Bendix gear back into position and it is hitting the fly wheel, but I don't think that would make a squealing sound ... more of a grinding sound in my estimation. If from the starter, the squeal could be the bearing/bushings in the starter motor are getting ready to take a crap. Can't see why unplugging the coil would make a difference. Next guess would be the impeller/ alternator belt hitting the engine tin due to loose/missing fastners, very loose belt or a worn belt. Last guess would be the rear main seal. I had an engine that would chirp like a bird when running. Lips on rear main seal blew outward from internal pressure in the case (blowby). Next ....................... |
