source of groaning noise?

    I changed the timing belt and water pump on my 1999 voyager 2.4L. Since
    I got it back together I have noticed a noise that seems significantly
    too loud, and it sounds kind of like a power steering pump. It is
    definitely coming from somewhere on the engine, as it rises and falls
    with the engine speed. Is it possible that the increased noise is a
    result of getting the power steering belt too tight?

    why did you replace the belt ??? did it bust??
    how about one of the pulleys for the timing belt having a bad bearing

    No, I changed the timing belt, tensioner and idler as routine maintenance.

    It's full. I think the pump is just getting old, and the tighter belt
    has made it louder. The stethoscope confirmed it. I guess I'll be
    changing that next.....

    Thanks for your help!
