After replacing valve seals....
After replacing valve seals.... Finished replacing the valve seals and I fired the car up, she was fine til she was warmed up, then it started making this squeeling noise and I cant really pinpoint where its coming from. Any ideas???

Look for a small child hidden under the hood, they'll squeal when it gets too hot. Seriously, check the serpentine belt. If you got it wet at all with dexcool, that darn thing will squeal for days. If you need a new belt, get one. If not, just wait and it may go away. Also check your idler pulley, they will squeal if they are failing.

Just a thought here. Maybe you didn't seat them corrrectly. There should only be about 1/8-1/16 of an inch clearance. Thats most likely not the prob. Did you check the A/C belt too???? Check the washers on the accesories. Did you spill some coolant?

That is the crankcase not having a fresh air source and your PCV pulling a vacuum on it. Make sure your breather hose on the valve cover closest the the oil cap is unrestricted. This is the hose from the valve cover to the throttle body. I seen a guy plug off everything other than the PCV valve hoses itself and do the same thing after running about 10 seconds.
Ok let me make sure I have theses hoses run right, the hose from my catch can goes to the throttle body right. and the hose from the valve cover goes to the side of the intake?

No the inlet and outlet of the catch can goes in-line with the PCV system its routed close to the TB, but ends up connected to a plastic fitting on the intake. The hose from the TB only goes to the valve cover, change nothing on this hose from stock.
