Default Timing Balancer belt Noise/Question.

So i bought this thing to spray on pulleys so they would stop screething everytime i turned my car on. Which thats what i thought it was..

But when i sprayed it now evertyime the car is idling or rev it, it sounds all weird.

i youtubed it and this is wat exactly sounds like . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuAU8...eature=related ( not my video )

So its supposably that the belt is to tight.

So my question is
Is this something i got to fix asap? i asked that because i dont have time till the weekend to fix it, and this is my daily.
What can go bad?

if the belt is too tight then it could possibly break which means engine failure most likely. did you recently change the t-belt though or did this noise start out of nowhere? it wouldn't just tighten up all by itself is what i'm gettin at lol

The only time i fuked with the belt was when i change my head gasket and i was moving it to TDC from the bottom. Can i just move it back a little bit?

if the belt isn't old or frayed then i wouldn't bother changing it. now if you haven't messed with the t belt recently then i don't think thats your problem. maybe try removing one accessory belt at a time (a/c,p/s,alt) and see if the noise goes away. if it doesn't even after everything is removed then i would look into the timing belt as possibly being the culprit.

bt why would it do this since i only sprayed with that one liquid?

I started it up today and it doesnt sounds as loud. Its weird, like if its drying or something.. idk..

If the timing belt is too tight, it puts more stress on your water pump and oil pump, and may cause them to fail prematurely. This also decreases your timing belt's life expectancy.
