ok guys im a noob just picked up a crx w/ d16a6 recently installed. I noticed a loud squeeling noise like a horsey sound and I lubed the belts by spraying wd40 and noticed it would go away for a little. I then re-inspected the car and noticed the crank pulley is rubbing againt the timing cover. do you guys think maybe the wrong pulley was used or maybe the install of the cover is bad? it drives fine other than that horsey sound.

 

Seems the timing cover may be loose or installed incorrectly. A pic would help.

Oh, and :slap: for lubing a belt.

 

If the pulley is rubbing the cover, the cover is usually loose. Check it. If the cover is tight, grab the crank pulley and try to shake it side-to-side... obviously, tighten it if it is loose.

The squeel noise is from loose or old belts. Check them, tighten or replace as needed.

 

Those lower covers can get warped from the heat down there of from man-handling during removal for, say, a timing belt replacement. Just replace the cover and you'll be fine. Oh, and since you put WD40 on your accessory belts you should just replace them, too, while you're in there. When you get that new lower cover, get the rubber gasket, too. The gasket can get oil-soaked and swell... which might be part of the original problem.
