Holy crap! New install, got oil pressure (finally!) and got that baby started.

Funny note, the idle rode right at 500rpms without an O2 sensor installed, gt2871r and 550s. Funny =o

So there is a VERY loud squeeking, is sounds like it's coming from the alternator belt (the only belt installed). I broke the tensioner on the alternator (WTB alternator tensioner) but the belt is still pretty tight, I find it hard to believe that it could be squeeking that much and that loud. Maybe I've never had my head in a garage next to a motor with a squeeky belt

Any other ideas as to what it could be? I'm going to get a tensioner asap but if anyone else has had this problem if it could be anything else =o

thanks

squeeky belts can make an ungodly racket, especialy if your alt is binding
