hey guys,
about 4000 miles ago i changed my power steering belt (squeking).
Now my car is squeking again. also when i get to my car today i turn it on and its making a really weird noise. it sounds like something is scrapping on the right side of the engine.
also the power steering started after a burn out i did.... maybe that weird nose could be also caused by the burnout. any help would be appreciated
 
does this just happen overtime or did was i the culprit. by the way the engine has 100,xxx
miles on it

It is normal for it to happen over time. The burn out and higher revs might have just accelerated the failure. Consider the harmonic balancer a regular maintenance item.
 
but what about that sqeeking from the power steering belt? i just changed it could the HB be causing this
 
Get a spray bottle of water and while the squeaking's going on, give the PS belt a shot. If it shuts up, that was the belt.
Put a chalk mark on the rim of your harmonic balancer, and a mark on the hub. Run it a couple of days and see if they've moved out of index.
