I originally thought pulleys... ruled out idlers, replaced the tensioner, tried a new original length belt... same noise, upgraded to a gates RPM belt... noise got WORSE.

If I spray water or lubricant on the flat side of the belt the noise goes away for a moment, then comes right back.

Any ideas?
I got mine installed back in May/June time. No squeaks whatsoever and I'm using the Gates belt that Sprintex provided. It must be one of the pulley's I guess, but which one?
