Chirpping Sound Coming From Left Side

[K9husker]

Guys:
When i am in the higer gears and open it up a chirpping sound comes from somewhere on the left side. I checked the upper motor mount and it seems tight. Any ideas???

I had a leaky head gasket that chirped every time I got on it. Even a little bit. Really was a weird chirp. We couldn't figure it out for quite a while, thought it was a loose part, then we thought it was a leaky exhaust port. Turned out to be a leaky head gasket...

Hopefully that's not the problem.

Figured out the chirrping noise. If you do not have the teflon washers between the ignition cover and the upper motor mount head bolts, they rub and a chirp/sqweek occurs.

That's real nice to know.:2thumbs:

I'd like to check mine as well...I've been hunting for a squeek/whistle too...What are the torque specs for the stock motor mount bolts?

I torqued mine at 25 lbs. I also went and got some new larger o.d. washers and ground each side of them down so they would fit in the slot in the ignition housing, scrapped the old small, flat washers, kept the lock washers as they were wearing a groove in the bottom of the slot. Seemed too be alot of wear on the rear bolt for what ever reason. You could physically see where the housing was rubbing on the rear head.
