Hi James,
            some months ago you reported a mysterious noise following a V6 cam belt change. Did you ever resolve it?

[Webby the Bear]

Just to note... I've still got the same squeak that James had however it's nowhere near as bad as when I first fitted belt.

Not worrying about it

It'll disappear totally sometime after 40K.



Along with the valves etc

How dare you!  Everyone knows that GM belts and tensioners can go on for at least 120k miles

Yep, keep them in the box in the boot and they should be ok for that mileage.

It resolved itself after a bit it must have been the writing on the belt - you can see where it's made a tiny groove in the tensioner, nothing to worry about

Thanks, James. That's a relief. As said before, I returned 2 Vx kits after suffering similar experiences, finally fitting an SKF kit, that was silent. I recall that your thread attracted reports of similar problems from other menbers.
