yeap, whine whine whine.

here's a vid of it... http://www.freakyfranky.net/bmwstuff/whine.AVI

it's on the spare 325iC, it had it then and it has it now, she sat for about 8 months.

- today did Continental t.belt, tensioner, spring and WP.
- ran it with and without a/c, wp/alt, p/s.
- also ran it with and without lower t.belt cover as it had some old traces of rubbing.
- also checked distributor and rotor, no binding there.

whine still there and not sure why, sounds like from forward side of engine.

heard about injectors or fuel pump whine, could that be it ?

I dont know but revving it up kind of high when its assumingly cold is probably not good for the life of anything.

Sounds like the starter might still be engaged with the flywheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel.

Do you mean the bearings in the alternator?

Hey mangs,
Thanks for all the great advise.

Today de-tentioned T.Belt but it was not the problem

So, used a piece of vacum hose and found a leak between thermostat housing and head, that little gasket it's cracked in 3 pieces
(see enclosed pic), repaired it with some gasket glue and wistle went away for a little while,
so picked a replacement and will install it tomorrow., that should fix it.

If not it, then injector # 1 "O Ring" it's all dryed up.
