I'm having alot of belt squeel, very quiet at idle and louder past 2500rpm. It started when I put my 2.6" pulley on. I have the ZZP adjustable tensioner and at first I had it at the setting they recommended but it was still sqeeling so I put it on the tightest setting. Now its squeeling a little less but still enough to hear it over my exhaust. What do you guys think its from?

 

Loose belt is always what I associate that kind of noise with. If you put a bigger pulley on, does it go away?

 

probly havnt seated yet so get some belt dressing and get a smaller belt too

 

or check to make sure that the belt is on all of the pullies. The pulley that the belt usually doesn't sit on all the way is the A/C compressor. That is the most common reason for the squeaking after a pulley swap. Good Luck!

 

^Thanks, ill check that tomorrow

 

Check and make sure the belt is sitting correctly. If the belt sits on all ribs correctly then get a new belt, don't know why this is so but it worked for me.

 

Yea, I keep saying Im going to get the stage 2 belt but it just seems like to much of a pain in the ass to change the belt lol

 

Joe I thought we discussed this you need the stage 2 belt . AND don't put Dressing on it .

Anyway hows the Oldsmobile ?

 

Alright I'll order it today. The odlsmobile is good, We need to do the brakes before we can drive it much. Hopefully that'll be this week and we'll also rebuild the carb this week.

 

WELL. im experiencing the exact same thing. and i have a had my kit for a while. but mine doesnt seem to be the belt. i think its the supercharger barrings. but im assuming and Intense says thats not very likely. but mine wont go away. i have bought that spray to put on the belt and it doesnt go away

 

where do you buy a stage 2 belt besides Cobalt Addiction?

 

Your local parts department or Crate Engine Depot.

 

What's wrong with belt dressing?

 

my thoughts exactly...^^^

 

it did not work. squeeked louder

 

hmm, what kind did you use? it worked great on mine

 

how do you install the adjustable tensioner. i bought it fro mChevypowered and i have no instructions. do I need to install it when i go down to my 2.7, i already have the stage 2 belt
