... i dont know. I just took it for a spin and it seems ok. but in the morning struggles for a bit, the whining sound is gone, something (belt) screeches loudly and then something (lol, alternator?) starts, the whining sound is back. I'd think the belt is slipping and alternator has some trouble starting to move, but not sure. I'll start it tomorrow morning while looking over the engine bay, perhaps that will give me a clue... the alt belt seems a bit loose if anything, I can easily press it with one finger.'94 rev3 NA, '92 rev2 Turbo forged, '07 Civic Type-R(and the noise stops) then its back when the screeching stops 
. seems weird to me as I had both the cambelt and alternator belt done too... but it did indeed started happening on one of the colder days.'94 rev3 NA, '92 rev2 Turbo forged, '07 Civic Type-R Few mates who are on here think its the alternator belt being a bit tight. I dont know how tight should it be and how to measure it without any tools. I've browsed thru some forums and apparently it should be so you can twist it with your fingers only about 1/4 of a turn. Mine is a bit floppier than that..'94 rev3 NA, '92 rev2 Turbo forged, '07 Civic Type-R On a cold morning I can clearly hear that it has problems moving; for a couple seconds engine is really struggling, but frees up with a screech quite quick. Hopefully not terminal yet, I really wanna stay out of the garage till new years '94 rev3 NA, '92 rev2 Turbo forged, '07 Civic Type-RReechard wrote:I have this sound on my Rev1 N/A.
