I have a very slight squeak that has suddenly appeared. Seems a little louder when you first fire the motor and slowly goes away. Appears to be in the valvetrain as I cant hear it under the car or in the front of the motor. Took one side of the rocker assembly off and everything appears OK.
Any ideas or tips to find it?

Is the nose or tail of the rocker rubbing the insides of valve cover? I have had to machine reliefs in the VC's bofore to clear the rockers on aftermarket heads.

Possibly..There are 2 marks on the inside of the VC. I'll clay em and see if they are rubbing.
EDIT. Checked em and they arent rubbing....
