Sounds more like the belt is slipping.

 

Water Pump? Have you checked it

 

start with the easy.. Get a new belt, your one sounds like its stretching when its hot. When the belt is off check the allignment of the harmonic balancer, i.e. if it feels loose or if you notice an imperfection in it. If it is loose try tightening it but if thats not working its time for a new one

 

harmonic Balancer is coming apart did you not read my post

 

If the inner hub and outer ring have moved 180 degrees apart, then we may all have a problem in the making. Slipping of the inertia ring is not a good thing. Thanks for the heads up, I'll be marking mine immediately.

 

Now that makes me want to help....

 

Yea, people are always so nice on MF...

 

yea i was trying to warn people of a problem and you tell me to check my belt when the harmonic Balancer is coming apart if yall dont want warning i am sorry
