You lost us with that one . . . The alternator is driven by a V-belt,
(which may have been overtightened) but nothing to do with the timing belt.

Re: Air intake very loud...

I didn't refer to the timing belt, I was referring to
the alternator belt. My theory is that it was
overtightened, which put too much pressure on my alternator
bearing, which contributed to its failure.
