weird noise after timing belt changed Options

[monky32]

so i got my car back after my mechanic changed the timing belt but now i can hear this weird noise when the rpm's increase say when i push my gas pedal. It is a high pitched sound. actually my 5fse engine sounds like it had 200 horse power now . Well guys any ideas about what could be wrong? maybe an overtighten belt. I know i should take my car back to my mechanic but i just want some opinions so if he lies to me and try to make some more on me saying..... ohhhh well this is wrong is gonna cost you now this much..i can reply with an intelligent answer. To be honest a just expended 450 dollars on this timing belt job and don't wanna expend more.

Thanks guys in advance.

Ok guys! took my car to the mechanic and he took a look at the timig belt said that the belt looks good and that he changed the tensioner which was the pinion i talked about before. the answer he gave me about the weird noise is that the belt needs to strech out a little so that would take care of it. The rubber burning like smell is a leaking radiator so i am looking for one right now. the crack is really small so do you think i can use an epoxy patty to fix it for now?. Do you recommend any radiator's brand or should i go oem or koyo? i heard about silla radiators. are they any good?


Thanks for your inputs about this subjet they were very helpful.
