Hey guys
I have this wierd noise coming from the front of the engine where the water pump is. I thought it was the water pump so I changed it and that took care of some of it. Now it sounds like its coming from behind the water pump. Could it be the timing chain. If so do you guys have any tips on changing one. I have no clue what else it could be.

BTW the noise is only present at idle and low rpms.

 

is it a squeal? belts might be loose if so.

 

The noise is not a squeal but it itsn't really a rattle either. Its not the belts or any other pullys. I'm almost positive its from inside the engine, but not sure what it is. Thanks for the reply.

what kind of noise is what i am getting at. unless you can describe it to us we really cant pinpoint it.

 

It sounds like something is loose or like there is to much play somewhere. That is why i think its the timing chain.

 

i also have that weird noise from the front. i know its not the water pump becuz i know the sound of a bad one and it started after i changed my oil. kinda like a slight knock/tickin with a scraping sound, and its only at low rpms like idle
