Hey Guys,

My brother in laws car started getting a nice big squeak in it a few days ago which he thought was just the drive belt being a bit loose. I had a look at it today, being a serpentine belt and still plenty of tension I told him it wasn't the problem. I removed the drive belt to rule out any pulleys that may be causing the loud squeak. I have determined that the loud squeak is coming from the top cam cover right near the CAM Cog. Would I be correct in saying the bearings for the CAM are stuffed causing it to sound like a loose/wet belt?

Thanks
