I have recently changed the timing belt on my 95 Civic 1.5L and am having an issue. The timing belt is making a sound that I can only really describe as a sticky sound. As in the sound that maybe a sticky shoe would make. I first thought this was an issue related to my tensioner, I have tried 2 different tensioners, one was OEM, 2 new timing belts, and a new tensioner spring. I know it is the timing belt, because I have removed the 3 other belts and ran the engine briefly and the sound remains. The sound stays the same, regardless of tensioner, or tension.
I am at a loss for what is causing the sound, but it definitely isn't normal and I am worried about premature timing belt failure if I just ignore it. For full disclosure I have also changed the water pump and front crankshaft and camshaft seals at the same time. I would greatly appreciate any input or insight into this issue.
Thank you.
