[QUOTE="apsmith49921, post: 1518164, member: 25109"] Alright so the car has developed a squeak. It seems to be coming from the valvetrain somewhere. I removed the cover and did a thorough inspection. No scoring on cams, followers or lash adjusters. Bled down all the adjusters, soaked them in oil and re installed with no luck. It happens when cold and goes away almost as fast as I can get out to look. If you bump the throttle it will chirp once and it's done. Doesn't happen any other time. I held it at 3k, and several revs it's quiet. After looking at everything and seeing no issues deciding to just let it ride for now. Its possible the melling tensioner I got could be doing it. Those bolts are also tight and still torqued to spec. I don't LOVE the idea of the chirp noise but after finding 0 glitter and everything in its rightful place, I'm not in the mood to rip it all apart again. Launched some oil everywhere so I've got a mess to clean up all over the fusebox and wires. Also discovered my box is broken. It's missing the tabs that hold it in and is floppy. Any suggestions on that would be helpful. [/QUOTE]
