About 1 1/2 years ago i had to change my timing belt on my 7MGTE along with the tensioner pulley and the idle timing pulley due to the small guide on it breaking off and my belt was rubbing against the front plate/guard. (Luckily that thing kept it on) Did tons of research and tackled the whole job in my backyard and was successful. Got it running smooth.
But now after a year and a half has passed my crank/harmonic balancer has started to get a slight wobble in it. At idle I get this slight resonating squeak with a couple ticks here and there (haven't determined where from). The ticks get louder at about 1200rpms but then everything goes away over 2000rpms and it seems to balance quite nicely. Now my stock fan has always a one blade that is slightly off but i doubt that will create much of an issue.
This is my daily driver, should i just tackle is since its the weekend and pull everything off to see how it looks or just go outside right now and put the big ole heave ho on the bolt and try to get it tighter.
Edit: Woops wrong section, if a mod could move to 7M-GTE section that would be greatly appreciated.
