for the belt check their tension. make sure it's tight enough..or else it'll screech.
at the longest span put moderate pressure on the belt..it should not deflect more than the length of your thumbnail...(1/2in. or so). it's not a scientific measure..but it's a good way to determine if it's loose.

: I've got an odd knocking at idle that started a few days ago. At first I thought it was one of my brand new lifters going bad or not building up pressure. I was going Monday to take it back to my engine guy and have him look at it. Yesterday out of no-where I had a belt scream like crazy for about 2 seconds. Tonight on the way home my belts are screaming like crazy at idle rpm and even when revved until the clutch is engaged and load is put on the engine. Question One: Are these realted? Question Two: Is my brand new UDP bent and would that be my knocking noise. Please help me out folks, I've read on here about bent crank pulleys before. Is this the series of events you guys experienced?
