crankshaft pulley???? NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, ive been having this squeling/whistling noise for some time, and ive posted twice before. Well, i finally tried to figure it out again. I was hoping it was the tensioner pulley or another one of the pulleys. I took the belts off, started the car and the sounds was still there. I had a friend get under the car and check it out and he was pretty sure it was coming from the crankshaft pulley, or around it.... What could be causing this annoying noise? It comes and goes, usually when the car is cold i cant hear it, but once it warms up it makes the noise. When i drop below 1500 RPM's it usually stops or is alot quieter, but once i give throttle it comes back again. Can it be a bearing in the brankshaft or does it just need oil on it??? im clueless and need to know!!!

check the harmonic balancer as well it could be slipping or have come apart and is just rotating there other than that it sounds like a waterpump or opti bearing.... grab a stethiscope and start probing around while its running and see what you hear from where just be careful not to get it wrapped up around a pully or you could be hurt

If it was the waterpump or opti bearings would i be experiencing any performance drops? So far the engine temp and everything has been fine. I havnt noticed a noticeable performance drop. But it could just be going slowly i dont notice. and, how hard to fix this problem? Would i have to replace the opti or water pump?Thanx
