Mike: Are you running a cogged belt? I have found these to squeak more often
then non-cogged belts. Try an old style solid belt if you are using a cogged
one.
Just my two cents worth.

Well today I started chasing some of the things that need sorted out. One is
the squeaking (you can hear it in the video). I thought is was the pump
pulley. It is not. The water pump is new and I ran it with a drill to see
if
I could get it to squeak. No luck. Do these aluminum pulleys just squeak
with the belt running over them. I thought maybe it is the throw out bearing
but it is not a howl. I guess it could be the alternator but that is new
also. Any thoughts??? At idle it does not squeak. Give it some revs and it
squeaks. I really think it is the water pump. Any imput would be helpful.

Started the TR4 today!!!
Well after 18 months of work, I pushed the button
today with the help of my
race rabbit friend Dave Barton and the car started.
We had a few minor issues
that a quick call to Jeff Quick in Seattle help
solve. I am attaching the
link to the you tube video my son shot. I have
some small isuses. Water
leaks with my Ford aluminum radiator, the rear of
the valve cover is leaking
and the new water pump is squealing (could be the
pulley rubbing on the bolts)
and the oil temp gauge is not working. By the
end of the day i drove it
around the block. You can hear the water pump in
the video.
I am pretty
excited!!
