Well when I start up my SR there is a low toned sqeauling sound. The type of sound that your pulleys make when the belts are loose but a way lower tone. The sound however is coming from the head under the valv cover area. What could this be? I think it might be the oil not reaching the rocker arms noramlly?

Well anyways the sound disappears after I warm up my engine though.

Have you done anything to your Cams or valvetrain lately. My engine did that same thing and it was because I didn't have enough lubricaton geting to the cam journals and rockerarms. Check those and make sure they are ok. Simple and painless to do.
