Ok, here the set up. 461' BBC with a TBS 8-71. The 8-71 is new to my set up as well as new to me. I followed the instructions and tensioned the belt to 1"-3/4" cold tension. I've been running it for the past 5 days and am starting to notice what sounds like a belt squeal. Its non of the accessory belts as the sound is coming from the top pulley/tensioner area. It comes and goes. Can 8mm belts squeal? The Blower turns smooth with the belt off as does the tensioner. The only thing I find odd is there is a lot of belt dust being flung around. Did I tension it to tight?
It is a distinctive squeal so I'm almost positive it's not a bearing in the Blower as it turns so smooth.
Any thoughts?
