Is it possible to make a tension pulley so tight that the belt gets too much resistance and begins to squeek?

 

Yes. There is a tool that exists that measures belt tension. Its called a, you guessed it, Belt Tensioner Tool. It has little fingers that holdon to the belt and you pull on the handle and once the belt moves you read the LBFT reading on the gauge.

Wasnt trying to be sarcastic btw.

 

i dunno about noise, but i know you will mess up your idler and possibly water pump...

 

I think he was reffering to a drive belt....not a timing belt?!?!

so it wont mess up the water pump.

yes yes i know some cars water pumps are driven by the serp belts and what have you.......but in his cars description...it seems as if those motors water pump's are driven by timing belt


sorry for bein an ass haha
