LSJ Chirp Squeak

Hey there,
My car has started chirping when cold starting. It will chirp/squeak for a few minutes until the engine is warmed up then stops.

Seems like its one of the accessories on the belt.

Before I go pulling my belt off and inspecting everything,
what tends to fail first on these engines in terms of belt driven accessories.

Also:
How do I tell if I have a Stage II Belt or an oversize tensioner? I'm running a 2.9" Pulley on the SC and I baught the car used running a 2.85" Pulley on the SC.

The part number is printed on the belt. Look for it on the outter side.

No it's not.
It may have been when it was new but since both sides of the belt are used, it's long worn off by now.


Also.

The tensioner arm seems to have some play in it. Is this normal? None of the pulleys have any play in them. Just the tensioner pivit arm.

It is likely the tensioner assembly. There is a shock on it that can go bad, happened to me.
