Weird Engine Whine?
I start the Camaro up last week and hear a strange whine. I know for sure its not the power steering. I know the alternator is good. It increases when the motor revs, I'm lost at this point? Maybe harmonic balancer? Maybe a pulley? Accessory pulley?
Any ideas? I would like to resolve this issue because it is quite annoying!

Re: Weird Engine Whine?
More than likely it's something accessory belt related. Just to be sure you can take the belt off and start it for a few seconds and see if the noise is still present. With belt off you can turn pulleys by hand and see if any have excessive drag. If you have a stethoscope handy you can pinpoint it. If its whining all the time more than likely its not the harmonic balancer.
