A couple of k ago I had the timing belt changed on my 84 4000kq.
It's sorta making that turboish whistle. I think it's from the belt being a little tight.
Should I get it loosened? Will leaving it like this cause any ill effects?
Thanks much

Get is checked and make sure it is in spec. Too tight and it will waer the bearings, too loose and it may jump and knock your timing off... Just get it in spec.

I have heard that the timing belts whistle like you described when tightened too much, get it adjusted.
