samisunjp Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 (edited) So recently ( within the last few days) I have been working on my '88 gl wagon. I have had an oil leak with what seems to be the oil pump. Anyways After getting the car back together and starting it up I am loosing a lot less oil still some, but I am now hearing what seems to be a metal rubbing sound perhaps. I'm not quite sure what it is, but here is the sound with me holding my phone under the car I'll tell you all I did before hearing this noise, took out radiator took off timing belts took off oil pan took off oil pump replaced oil pump mickey mouse seal replaced oil pan gasket Put everything back on the car I probably should add I tried tightening belts and that did not seem to work So anyone have any ideas what this noise is?

djellum Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 get a long handled screwdriver and touch it to all the spinning parts on the motor. check water pump, alternator, power steering, timing covers in different spots, etc. likely culprits are the water pump and alternator, but it could be anything. if its nothing like that check for misaligned timing covers or pulleys, and after that check in the timing area for belt tension and to make sure that none of the little guides on the sprockets have fallen off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
