Hey guys, I've had my Vortech kit on my 05 rev-up G for about a year now and everything is running solid. About a month ago I started to hear this weird clicking noise. The noise won't start unless the car is running for like 20 mins or so. The sound is like a small mouse (squeel/clicking) alot of clicking..lol I know im not good at explaing this so I took a video..Heres the video:




So the noise is coming from the cog belt bearing. Could it be that my bearing is messed up or could it be the gates cog belt thats on there?? This is the picture of the belt.

Please let me know what you guys think it could be. Thanks

 

Hmmmm . . . I compared your vid to a couple of vids online of Vortechs with bad bearings and the sound is different. Maybe one of the other Vortech guys can chime in cuz I'm not really sure what it can be.

 

Do you guys think that this could be caused becuase the center idler pulley bolt is on backwards? or is it? lol LMK thanks

 

I was going to say that the bolt is backwards. Not sure if thats the noise, but is a quick fix to see if thats the case. Are all the bolts tight and nothing is rubbing?

 

Yup. I didn't catch that at first. It's definitely backwards and that could definitely cause issues.

 

It doesn't even look like it is spinning, but that the belt is catching it and causing a vibration.
