RE: not new
Hi Mike...Welcome back..
One of the 'common' problems for squeak/chirping issues at the 'front' of the engine is the Cam Synchronizer assembly.. The CMP (cam position sensor) sits on top of the synchronizer.. Place a listening device at the base of the assy for verification.. What happens is the shaft/housing runs dry and it will make a pretty horrible noise, or can from lack of lube.. Usually more so as the engine warms..
Could be a tensioner/idler issue, but have a look at synchronizer as well.. They have a history of problems..
Here's a few pics of the assy.
