Chirping sound from valve covers
I have a sound that sounds like a loose belt, but it only happens when I rev the engine, and when I'm under the hood it sounds like it is coming from the lifters or from around the valve cover area. I have checked the belts and they are tight. The oil only has about 1000 miles on it and I believe that it is 10W40. Anyone have any ideas?

So if my lifters are going I have to change the Cam at the same time correct? Around how much does a lifter and Cam set run? I saw one for around $450, but that sounds a little high.
Also are these hydrolic cams or are they roller?

I finally got some time to get it into the Hobby shop here on base and pulled the belt. It was tight, but it was going bad. Once I replaced that, the sound went away. Thank God too, I really didn't want to dump that much money in a car I just got and still owe on. But the lifters still make a ticking sound, I believe that they just need adjusting.
Thanks for all your help!
