Well I have noticed that out of nowhere about 3 days ago my Novi 1k is starting to make a real high pitched reereeereeer growling noise.
I was hoping it was just the alternator bearings so I put on a bunch of my different length belts in various accessory configurations. Everything was quiet until I hooked the blower back up. I noticed that when I turned the blower by hand that it made the same reeeerreeer noise. I don't remember ever hearing this before when I hand spun the thing but I may be wrong. The weird thing is it feels very smooth to the hand when you turn the pulley.
It still runs great and makes boost but I am nervous that if something comes apart it may contaminate my oil system.
One of the first things I did was to check the oil jet and oil flow but that all checks out great.
I am guessing that I may have to pull it off this week and send the thing in. I am a little nervous about sending it in and I don't know why.
Kelly if you see this please give me some ideas on what it could be.
I will probably be trying to contact you sometime soon.
I wanted to go to the track tommorrow weather permitting but now I am unsure.
This sucks and I really don't want to do this right now.
