Message	Customer towed his Z to my place to find and fix an issue. He complained of a loud screaching sound while the motor was running. Just from the description over the phone it sounded like a bad timing belt pulley. Upon start up I had all the neighbors attention from the loud terrible sound the car was making. Popped the hood and looked around to try and narrow things down. Found the problem pretty fast. Owner said he uses a Firestone/Goodyear to service his car and had his water pump belt replaced. Looks like the AC belt was reinstalled incorrectly. Doh. The old parts Thankfully a very easy fix.
