BP screeching

ok every time... or pretty much every time i start up the car it will screech like the belts are hitting something... i checked the belts and they are good... but unless i give it gas to go above like 2000 rpm then the screeching will stay... it usually only does this when i start up the car... but last night it would do it every time i left idle and went on the gas (stoplights and stuff)... timing belt, waterpump, belts, and pulley all new...

an overtightenned belt would give a nice noise too. Check the online manual for how tight it should be.

I bet it's your alternator/water pump belt... that one always like to make a bloody noise.

ok well i took off my timing belt cover and the gasket for the timing balt cover is too long by like an inch... so im gonna replace that... but if water got in there could it be causing that screeching noise? its pretty persistant now... all the time
