ssbtech Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Going to pop the PS/alternator belt off to narrow down a source of noise. Is it best to disconnect the 3 wire plug from the alternator when running the engine without this belt or just leave it all connected? Thanks.

ssbtech Posted May 9, 2022 Author Share Posted May 9, 2022 In for results ? Did you find the noise ? Not yet. It's loudest on start as pressure builds then settles down quite a bit. Groans a bit on turning the wheeel. The PS fluid is quite old and I have a new o-ring for the inlet tube bit so when I get a chance I'll change the ring and exchange the fluid. I know that o-ring is prone to making noises when it's failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
