Hey guys .. just finished my t2 swap and now theres a rattle coming from the area around the pulleys on the right hand side (i.e. water pump)

Any ideas what could be the culprit .. i.e. unbalanced pulley ... water pump itself not being mounted tight enough, etc etc

(Funny side note: Some stupid **** said my rods were going bad in my car hahaha)

 

Yeah, I'd get a valve job right away!

But seriously.. could be the water pump bearings, or a bearing in one of the pully's around it. Keep in mind, the OMP is right below the water pump... hope its not that.

Oh.. do you still have your stock fan? I had a temp clutch go out in one and it made a rattling noise. Thats pretty damn close to the water pump.

 

yep still have the stock fan .. as for the omp .. its been tested and functions properlly .. so i dont think its the omp

thanks for the insight

 

Figured I'd throw it out there.. better safe than hurling an apex seal through your exhaust.

 

found out what it was .. turns out the bolts on one of the pulleys were loose all better now
