so I did the troubleshooting to determine that I have a bad camshaft Synch. So I get one and when I took the old one out, there was metal fused to the bottom of the gear on the Synch. So I take a look down the hole and where the Synch rests and of course that spot has some pretty good trenches in it. I went ahead and put a new one in and the squeak did not change at all.
Will the trenches that were dug inside the engine the cause of the squeaking or will it be something else?
Inside the engine, the inner most ring is raised, the spot that looks like a washer is the trench, and the spot behind that is raised again about the same level as the inner most ring. The crescent moon shape around the bottom is an angled cut on whatever is inside right there. Everything is solid
Brand new sync is on the left, you can see where the outer paint/finish material is rubbed off but that's it. I haven't let the engine run too long with the new one in.
The old one that I ground the chunks off of is on the right and you can see where I took 2 patches of metal off on that one up front there.
UPDATE: I've put my new sync in and the problem is still there.
The squeaking mainly occurs from 1000 to 1500 rpm while I'm driving. After 1500 rpm the squeak dies down to more of a quieter clicking sound. If I hit a bump in the road while it's squeaking, the tone of the squeak will change to a deeper sound for a second or two.
