I have just done Timing Belt four weeks ago, and it seemed there was ever since a slight noise coming out of that side.

It's true I didn't use a cam lock bar, but I made good marks.

I have been driving the car on the freeway up to 100MPH without problem or weird noises.

What do you guys think it is? Can it possibly be the timing belt alignment? Or it is a cam adjuster issue?

Thanks.

It doesnt matter how good your marks were, you NEED the lock bar. If the timing happends to be good then check the tensioner in the bacl of the head and make sure its not bad.

what tensioner is that?

mikalot2k7

so the noise is from somewhere else.

what would the noise be if the cam chain tensioner was bad?

thanks

and messed w/ the timing belt a second time

I cannot explain what I changed. I moved belt one tooth on each cam sprocket and then moved right back.

somehow it got better
