Whining noise from the belts...

[LX Rida]

Well...i was driving around today (1993 Accord) and i hit a little bump going about 5mph...and got mad and revved up my motor...and it started to make a whining noise..i pull over on the side of the road to see where its coming from and it sounds like its coming from the alt or the ps belt im not sure. When im driving it and i give it more gas it gets louder...it almost sounds like that noise your speakers make...kinda high pitch but not..what do you guys think it is? Im thinking about sparying some wd40 on the belts or maybe one of the belts is loose/tight. But i dont know.

Yea, Im thinking its one of the belts because when the car was on and warm...the belts werent that loud. When i went to go spark wd40 and the motor was cold...it was louder...

That's probably the worse thing you can do. lol. People always immediately go for belt dressing or wd40 the minute they hear the squeek. I have the pulley set from Unorthodox racing, and I experienced the same squeeking, pre and post install. There is bolts on each apparatii that need tightening. I wouldn't go too tight, just to a point where you could turn them a little bit. This should fix it.

Bump for the same problem: Began after going over speed bump at apartments. Next morning there is slight whining coming from Acss. area. Looked at the timing belt (literally just to see if it was in 1 piece, i have no idea what I would be looking for) and its still on the gear.

BTW the whining PULSATES. Help is very appreciated!

As rebels said, u shoud look at this first before thinking or trying anything else. After u tighthen start the car with A/C on. If u hear squeaking try again no noise means ur good

Its really not a sqeaking at all though. Its a whining and a pulsing vibration. Oil Pickup pressed against the oil pan due to a small dent from speed bump?

Actually, my CB7 makes the same noises. I had my car fixed by a mechanic and when i got the car back, i heard some kind of grind and a high pitch noise when I revved my engine. It's still doing it and the high pitch I can hear when I drive.

Yep this is what mine is doing. The whining sounds like something rubbing. It started all of a sudden also! I'm worried about it being a bearing or something internally wrong and being stranded sometime!!
How do I tighten the belts?

PS When I look into the timing hole, I see that the flywheel is over to the far left side - and there is a gap of about 1/2 inch like this : [I: >I]
Any ideas?
