So after swapping in the new engine and finally getting everything in working order, I started the car up and let it run for a few minutes and went to the throttle body to see how it acted. If I go slowly the engine will rev up normally, but at a certain point there is this wah wah wah wah noise http://ibri.halfzero.net:8000/engine_poo.wav
I *think* this is attributed to a bent crankshaft pulley because the engine was shipped up here on a pallet and was leaning on that side. I'm posting the wav to see if anyone's got a different view on it. And does anyone know what the chances are that it's just the pulley and not the crankshaft itself? I mean, it would be pretty difficult to bend the crankshaft, let alone from the outside of the engine, but stranger things have happened :/
Another theory is that it could be the timing belt/cams not lined up correclty. I've gotten mixed responses on what would happen if the timing belt was even off by a tooth whether it would run like complete shit or just make a weird noise (as with my engine now). Does anyone know for sure?
