A shart is when a fart surprises you with poop. She is technically correct that it is in fact making GBS threads your pants.

Doesn't need to be a full-on pants-making GBS threads though. A shart could just be a fart with enough friends that you need to cleanse yourself. I mean, its leaky headgasket vs. full-blown main seal. They're both bad, but one you hopefully have enough time to get home before you need to call a friend.

Had my hand in fiber for 5 years now but mostly at an apprentice level so it will be great to become an expert. It will also be great on my back to sit down or chill in a bucket all day instead of busting my rear end pulling cable and hauling around heavy rear end poo poo all day. My mom just came over with some homemade turkey soup and Canada Dry and asked if I was going through weed withdrawl.  Love that lady to death.

It's ok to run a car for a bit with the accessory belts off right? I need to pinpoint a belt whine problem which I'm pretty sure now is the timing belt, I just need to make sure for like 2.2 seconds. I'm thinking I let it cool down so it doesn't really need the water pump for a bit.

The main problem is that the water pump won't turn, but I really doubt you'll get enough heat into the water jacket from idling for tens of seconds to cause damage to anything.

Maybe it would be cool if it actually sounded like a real supercharger, but it sounds more like a vacuum cleaner. I'm thinking about getting a different better brand of belt and seeing if that works.

Is everything it runs new? I'd try belt first, but that sounds almost like bearings to me. Something it's turning going bad. The shitbox protege I had on Guam had that noise right before the water pump seized.

Well that's the only possibility, the water pump is probably the original....It spins ok though so I dunno. What did yours do before it took a poo poo and what failed? How am i supposed to diagnose it? [e] How freely should it spin? I have no clue if it's spinning like it should be. Applebees Appetizer fucked around with this message at 23:54 on Dec 4, 2015 |

How am i supposed to diagnose it? Made that noise, then made a REALLY loud loving bang when it seized, then pissed coolant everywhere. The lovely thing is other than replacing it, I can't think of a way to diagnose. Could also be idler, or really anything in the belt path. Trying a better belt is the easiest and cheapest diagnostic tool though.

Old Miata? It's probably a dodgy bearing on one of the accessory-belt-driven things, that's what had my friend's 1989 NA making the same exact noise (bad alternator bearing) - someone mentioned earlier about taking the belt off and checking to see if you can make any of the pulleys wobble, which may indicate which one is the problem.

It's an old Protege. WP pulley doesn't wobble at all, spins ok, little resistance but that seems normal, right? The thing is the noise didn't start until I installed the new belts, what are the odds that the WP decides to poo poo right when i put new belts on? Adiabatic posted:If you feel any gravel, non-uniform resistance, or catching, replace it. Nothing of the first sentence, but what do you mean by axial/longitudinal runout? [e] I compered the resistance to a new WP I have for the Miata and it's pretty much the same so it's normal I guess. Applebees Appetizer fucked around with this message at 00:11 on Dec 5, 2015 |

Does it wobble in any fashion? And doesn't have to be the WP. Idlers are also a common issue. Edit: again, belt is always an option and its the cheapest. This is all just "well, if it's not...."

leica posted:It's an old Protege. WP pulley doesn't wobble at all, spins ok, little resistance but that seems normal, right? Higher than you might think - new belt may hold tension better than old belt and be applying more axial force to the pulleys. Axial/longitudinal runout = how far the pulley wobbles left/right (axial) and slides forward/back (longitudinal) New belt may also just be squeaky. Do you still have the old belt? if so, maybe try swapping it back on? Some resistance is to be expected, as long as it's consistent and smooth the whole way around and doesn't wobble/slide even the tiniest bit. Check the PS pump too if it has PS.

There's no accessory idler, and it's not the TB idler, the TB assembly didn't make the noise when I ran it without the belts. Pulley doesn't wobble or slide at all. No typical bad bearing movement. Old belt was glazed and stretched out too much, it got trashed. PS pump got eliminated when I ran just the alt belt. The belts go alt/wp then ac/ps.

Belt is easiest to replace so I'd give that a go (and triple check the tension spec), then alternator (easier than WP), then WP

And leica: yeah, I'd throw a good brand belt on and make sure the tension is right, then go from there. It should be immediately obvious.

Im sitting here mourning Scott Weiland. Blasting a copy of Purple that one of my best buds burned for me near the end of the 90s when burned CDs were a big deal. Today I actually feel old. STP was my favorite of the grunge bands. I just made a post that was better than this one about the same thing like 5 minutes ago and it disappeared into the internet void. gently caress. I used to joke about feeling old but today was the day it really sunk in. Rip Scott Weiland. Still Remains is one of the best 90s songs ever

Woot posting from a fresh Win10 install on my new SSD and videocard. Waiting for steam games to migrate, then I'm going to play something! leica posted:It's ok to run a car for a bit with the accessory belts off right?

I'm thinking I let it cool down so it doesn't really need the water pump for a bit. When you end up having to do the timing belt, it's stupid easy. If I had the time to do it in one sitting, it'd be about 2 hours. Make sure you have some high-tac and a new water pump when you do it, and remove the idler for the A/C (if it equipped) from the block. My 323 is now completely leak free!

Roughing up the pulley with some sandpaper or a wire wheel should work to get rid of the glaze though. Ive had to do that on my lawnmowers a bunch of times to get rid of belt slippage and noise.
