OK, here's the story. I dropped the engine to install the seal between the sheet metal and the oil cooler. I had the fan, and all the sheet metal off and then put everything back with the addition of the rubber seal for the oil cooler. Now its back in the car and running gud! At idle and low RPM it makes a tweeting sound that goes away at about 2.5-3K. Its not the alternator belt. I removed the belt and it still makes the same noise!
It sounds like rubber or plastic rubbing on something and I have no idea what it is. All I know is that the WCR is one week away and I don't have the time or energy to drop it again even if I knew what it was which, I don't. Any suggestions?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

If you had the fan off, did you forget to put in the 'washer' between the fan and the fan hub (on the crank)? If you forgot that plate/washer, the fan will rub on the housing. The engine will run and you probably won't notice anything out of the ordinary. If you're not sure, I would start there. That's the first thing that pops into my head, considering what work you did.
