Based on our experiences in the field, the belt is likely to have been over-tensioned during installation. The belt may not be tensioned to the tension level recommended by the OEM service manual. If noise continues after retensioning, drive back to the workshop for diagnosis.

The number one thing you need to replace while the timing belt is being replaced is the belt tensor and the water pump. If either of these two go bad after the timing belt is replace you will have to pay for the labor again. So if they (the tech) are already in there have them replaced. It has been noted that the 3.2 and the 3.5L 98-04 engines are non-interference. One owner noted that after he had his timing belt replaced at local shop, but when he drove it home the engine ran very rough. See similar questions...

Many of the cars on the road today have timing belts. Like a fan belt, a timing belt should be replaced before it breaks. The timing belt needs to be replaced every 50,000-90,000 miles on most cars, but the exact time interval depends on the make and model of your car. If you were to wait too long and your belt breaks while you are driving down the road, your engine valve train loses its coordination. This can have horrible results. See similar questions...

State law requires that vehicles responding to an emergency must use both red lights and sirens. We do try to respect the community and the surrounding homes close to all of our fire stations in the early morning hours. See similar questions...

Yes. In fact, Let's Make Some Noise has been errated (see below) to allow it to trigger anytime Road Dogg discards a card, for whatever reason. So, when Road Dogg uses his ability, Let's Make Some Noise will trigger. If he discards to a Half Hour Suplex, his ability will trigger, etc. This is opposite of Edge & Christian's Superstar ability which only triggers when they must discard a card.

The technique of MR imaging employs magnetic fields called gradient fields that are used to determine the location of signals generated in the MRI process. These powerful gradient fields are switched off and on at a very fast rate and the result is a banging sound. Patients have described the sound as that of a broken washing. You will be provided with hearing protection to dampen this noise. See similar questions...

Although usually silent, caribou do vocalize at certain times. During the rut, bulls frequently pant and bellow, and for several months after calving, mothers and calves grunt back and forth to each other. Click here to listen to the sounds that calves make. Caribou often snort for a variety of reasons, but the most common sound associated with them is the clicking of their feet while walking - a noise produced by a tendon slipping over the sesamoid bone in the foot.

Ask any child "What does a rooster say?" and they will throw their head back and give you all they've got! But the hens, they are a different story. They usually make a soft, contented clucking sound--until they lay an egg. Then they get very excited and proud and will squawk for a few moments and then settle back down. They do not make a ruckus in the morning like their male counterparts and they are fast asleep in their coop by the time the sun goes down. See similar questions...

This would depend on your car's specifications (check your owner's manual) but, in most cases, every 60,000 miles or five years, whichever comes first. See similar questions...

valves and pistons will not collide requires that the compression ratio of the engine be reduced significantly; this is why you are more likely to avoid valve damage in economy cars than in performance oriented vehicles. See similar questions...

The tapping and knocking noise you hear during your scan is caused by magnetic coils that switch on and off during the scan. These coils measure the signal coming from your body in order to make the images that are used for your diagnosis. Because these coils are switched on and off rapidly, they vibrate and cause the noise you hear. Since these noises are often very loud, the technologist will give you some type of hearing protection.

In all the races we've done with The Racing System, we've never used an external timing source. We've never found it necessary. Instead, we use the computer clock for all timing and coordinate with any external source by manual methods. Quite accurate synchronization can be achieved this way and with enough precision to satisfy any normal requirements. We have also found that less complexity means less that can go wrong on race day. We use digital watches for our timekeeping. See similar questions...

No, Radiantec systems are silent in operation. The pumps are extremely quiet and the heat emission fins do not make noise either. I do not know exactly why other systems have noise problems. One reason could be an excessive fluid temperature requirement causing expansion and contraction. Another reason could be at the oxygen diffusion barrier. See similar questions...

It's the male cicada's version of Marvin Gaye. The humming noise attracts female cicadas. He makes it by rubbing together his pair of tymbals, membranes found in his abdomen. Be warned that if your lawn mower or weed whacker makes the same sound, you may find yourself more popular among the female cicada population than you want to be. See similar questions...

My mechanic says I should change my car's cam belt. How important is this? The estimate that I was given seems quite expensive, considering that the car is running perfectly OK at the moment. Replacing the cam belt is an 80,000km service item, and is one that is best not avoided. See similar questions...

Worn-out seals: grease escapes from roller bearings and contaminates belt. Bearings on which tensioners/idlers are built are not visible, but may be at the end of their lifetime. As belt manufacturer, we recommend change of all components at the same time to avoid any premature belt failure due to the malfunction of other related components. The better solution is the alternative of using the Gates Original PowerGrip? timing belt component kit. See similar questions...
