A while ago I needed to replace my crank pulley, however it was seized in the shaft, 3 people, 5 different bolts to go in the hole and 3 pullers and it didn't budge. So I brought it to a local customs shop that had done great work for me before. At the same time I decided to have them build my custom exhaust. It's all new 2.25" stainless, magma flow 36" glasspack, and a vibrant performance 12" resonator. So when they went to cut the pulley off, the effing morons drilled knot he's into the crank, on is very small more like a knick, the other goes maybe a third down it Since then it has been making a really odd noise, it kind of sounds like you were scuffing your feet on blacktop or something. It doesn't occur at cruising or just normal everyday acceleration. And it isn't as bad at free revving the engine I've tried 3 belts of lengths of belts And I've replaced the clutch since that happened, and clues of what's wrong?
Not sure. Have someone give the car a little gas and take a look at the pulleys when they are revving the engine. Maybe one of the pulleys are not running true.
What engine mounts are you running? Possible things are shifting under load and something's rubbing then (like maybe the crank pulley / belt on a wheel well liner, etc.). Though on a manual there's normally plenty of clearance there.
its not the wheel liners ive run it without those and it was still there, the sound doesnt sound like the exhaust rubbing it distinctly sounds like two things a rubbing constantly, not the exhaust shifting around. They are the stock mounts and i have had new ones on my to do list for a while, ill take a look for signs of rubbing, but last time i pulled the crank pulley i didnt notice any rubbing and the supercharger and alternator hve both been off recently and again no sign of wear. would the notches be causing any issues? the dont go all the way to the timing cover or anything, and the **** head who told me about it "said if anything it just makes the crank lighter'
What crack pulley did you install ? Please say it has a damper and it not one of those lightweight POS ALTA or M7 ones.....:nonod:
Is the rubbing noise only while moving? Or do you hear it with the car idling stationary? Does free revving the car in the driveway produce the noise?
