Did you have any coolant or sealant leak all other the crank pulley?

Its hard to tell from videos with the way sound quality is but it sounds like a bad bearing in the pulley.

to be honest thats how it really sounds it sounds that bad. i did not see any coolant leaks at all. it cant be the water pump cuz i just change it. it gotta be one of the pulleys

just took a look again.. and found bolts loose that hold the ac compressor pulley loose. and shreds of the belt on my reservoir tank

Kinda sounds like my ac compressor before it locked up. I just had the bearings fail on by idle pulley but it was a higher pitch.

my buddy's a/c compressor went bad and shredded his belt if you want to try there is a way to shut off your a/c compressor i think its in the diy section but it'll let the pulley turn freely with out the compressor being off

My a/c pulley ceased up on me so I wasn't about to crank the motor. So I just bypassed the a/c with a shorter belt. If you ain't going to run it, you might just as bypass the hoe.

wut kind of belt should i get to bypass the compressor

[RxPhi]

anyone know the size and part # for the shorter belt? thanks

After 5 minutes of searching through the forum. I found a 6 rib belt "K060513". I believe you can get it at NAPA. There's where I picked mine up at. I believe there is a 7 rib out there that fits which is a mazda miata belt or something from k20a.org. Just too lazy to search.
