98 Cobra Engine Squeal help!

ttakethereinsr · February 19th, 2011, 07:18 PM

so i bought my car a few months ago with some issues. It needed a IMRC Controller and new head gasket. I got it back and the car has a constant squeal. It did not squeal before the head gasket job. When i put the clutch in the sound stops. The car has 125k on it. Any help would be appreciated! thanks
