Hello All, Longtime forum reader here, although I have just created my account I have owned my 95 Pathfinder for over a year now.
My pathfinder has been sitting for about 6 months now due to repairs needed to be done and no cash to fund them. Until last week I began rebuilding the front suspension. When I purchased the pathfinder with 140K miles I immediately paid someone to do the timing belt, due to a lack of tools and time. Now when I started it up after doing the front end, I noticed a squealing or chirping sound coming from the front of the engine. Since it has been sitting since the timing repair I am unable to say if the sound was there before or not.
**Waiting for youtube videos to upload**.
Now for my concerns: The crankshaft pulley to ac compressor to tensioner pully belt is wobbling slightly(seen best at the bottom of the engine), is this normal? I dont see any concerning wobble in the pulleys.
As for the noise, it is easiest heard in the 18 second video when I rev the engine. Is this noise a belt whine? or a timing belt whine (I have heard that timing belts will whine a bit while they stretch after installation) As for the person I paid to install the belt, he is a retired tractor mechanic that I was referred to by multiple people so I would like to imagine he did things the right way. I have an exhaust leak so try to ignore that.
Any input is greatly appreciated,
Thanks -Ryan
