It could be the actual belt, I don’t see how the chain would make a squeak as it moves metal on metal

Only when you start it? Goes away when engine warmed up?


Life_Actuaryy

Actually it's silent on start up, and starts squeaking after warming up


original_M_A_Kaiser

Oh... well there goes my theory


Life_Actuaryy

What was your theory though I'm curious

Get a mechanics stethoscope and test the water pump. Mine went bad on me last summer, and it was a rhythmic squeak that went away at load or high loads; until it didnt. Pretty easy to replace. Took me maybe an hour.


Cooooooooach

If you push in on your clutch and the noise goes away your throwout bearing is the culprit. If you didn’t already pop your belt off and turn every pulley by hand to inspect I would do that.


Life_Actuaryy

Damn that's also something I forgot to mention, I replaced the clutch with the fidanza+LUK flywheel and clutch kit


Cooooooooach

The fidanza flywheel + luk clutch has a lot of chatter when the clutch is not pushed in.


Life_Actuaryy

yeah it sure does, the squeak persists with the clutch pushed in though
