Any car I've ever driven, I would gun, and drive hard... to what I expect of its abilities...

Now, I know the B18 motors are high reving... so why is it that its belts are squeeking after gunning the car on a random basis while Im driving?

This has happened with every car Ive driven... some one plz explain... I had a friend say the belt may tighten , but he told me not to take his word on it... would it be good to use belt lubricants also?

 

maybe the belts are slipping(loose) so they need to be tightened a lil bit...and the b18b is not a high reving engine...

Belt dressing/lubricants are a temporary fix. Often they cause more harm then good. I'd steer clear of them.

Also, what model/make is your car? What's the mileage? These answers may determine your belt problems.

 

I have a B18b... and I know its not high reving compared to other motors in its class... but is high reving compared to larger motors in general... Anyway... I have 91K on the engine... and I my two previous cars were both brand new, and giving me the same issue with the squeeking... its a very low tone, down to the sound of a cricket
