completely stumped on LT1 squeak
The wifes 97 WS6 172,xxx has been making this sqeak for a little while now and im completely lost on what it could be. Its been parked since it got worse. The oil pump, optispark, plugs and wires, water pump, alternator, and exhaust manifold gaskets are all new. it sounds just like a belt/pulley squeaking inside of the engine, on the left (drivers) side head area more towards the rear. On cold start the noise is barely even noticeable but as the car warms up it gets louder. On startup oil press is at 40 as it gets to normal op temp it drops to 20, then as it goes into gear about 17-18ish. Giving it a little throttle and letting off RPMs drop to 500-600 and oil press to about 10ish.

anyone have a idea? Been debating on pulling the engine and doing a complete rebuild but money is a bit tight so its not really a option right now.
