[DML] Re: Grinding noise while warming up.

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is a list of areas to look at:
Water pump bearings
Idler pulley bearings
Clutch throw-out bearing
You can use a mechanic's stethescope to narrow it down. You can also
spray lubricant at the suspected bearing and see if that changes the
sound. You can also try running the motor for a short time without the
belts and see if that makes a difference.
