My engine seems to have a high whine to it whose pitch seems to be exactly
two octaves above the engine itself's pitch. I wasn't too worried about it,
but it seems to have gotten louder over time, and it's gotten to the point
where it completely drowns the engine noise out below 2.5K rpms. I think
it's a bearing somewhere, but I'm not sure where. I'm worried that it's
about to fail. Does anybody have any experience with this? As usual, any
help is extremely appreciated.
