Squaking under timing cover... Sound familiar??

[gd8boltman]

I have had a squeaking noise at idle to 1500 r.p.m.'s for some time coming from the side of the engine, which I at first thought was a drive belt, pulley issue. I have replaced the drive belt tensioner, and various other pulleys, I have determined that it is behind the timing cover, has anyone had this problem before, or better yet are there any ideas what it could be??? Thanks for your help....

Exactly which pulley's did you replace? The lower idler pulley is notorious for going.

I have replaced the tensioner, both idler pulleys, etc. this noise is certainly coming from behind the timing cover...

One of the pulleys for the timing belt is probably bad. I have seen both the idler and the tensioner go bad.
