Hey guys,
My 1994 Mazda B3000 3.0 V6 2wd just started making a whining/humming noise from the back of the engine. I popped the hood and tried to figure out where it was coming from and it sounded like the distributor area. I touched it and felt a vibration with a frequency which matched the humming sound emitted. What does this mean? i recently replaced my head gaskets and replaced the heads with rebuilt ones. So the whole top end was taken apart about a month ago, the distributor was removed, but I had no problems initially after reinstallation. Also the sound seems to start after the engine warms up slightly and seems quieter as RPMs increase (could just be engine noise masking the sound).
Thanks!
Kyle
