It happened maybe a week or two after the oil change. Yea royal purple is all I really use. I got a stethoscope and still am having a hard time pinpointing it. Took the valve covers off and springs and rockers look intact. Wish I could see the lifters but can’t do that with out removing the heads. I didn’t try removing the hose from the scope though. Might give that a try. Buddy of mine came by and listened to it he’s leaning towards pilot bearing and my other friend and myself keep thinking lifter. I’m like losing my shit here. I’m pretty mechanically inclined and have been working on cars for years. So the fact I can’t even pin point this shit is killing me.

If it's a lifter I'd think you would be able to hear it by placing the end of the scope on the rockers. You might be able to pull the plugs and rotate by hand and see if you can still hear the noise you should be able to pinpoint it easier that way IF you can get the noise when it's turning that slow. You can back off all the rockers and that will take all the pressure off the lifters. it's tough pointing a squeak.

Sounds like you have some good upgrades there. Is it about time for a clutch upgrade? Good excuse to tear it down.

It should be just about time for a clutch upgrade. I bought it with 20k and I’ve never replaced the clutch yet.

How many miles on your valve springs?

Here’s some other issue I’ve been having lately after running the car for a length of time I’d shut it off and get back in to start it almost instantly. Next thing you know the tach stops working and the stabilitrak lights come on. It never threw a CEL but the 2 codes I pulled were P0356(coil circuit malfunction 6cyl) and U0121 lost communication with abs module. I cleared the codes(which my scanner couldn’t I had to disconnect the battery) and switched the coil with the #1 coil to see if that code came back, it didn’t but it happened again but this time the 2 codes I got were P0300(random multiple misfire) and P0336(CKP) any relation or 2 totally different problems.

Doesn't sound like it would be related to your noise. Might check and clean your grounds and positive connections.
Doesn't seem you are getting a misfire but maybe check your plugs and make sure one isn't loose leaking compression. A very small exhaust leak can sometimes sound like a chirp too.

What causes the P0336 code?
The reluctor wheel has broken, snapped, or has worn down teeth
Crankshaft position sensor magnet shavings have gotten stuck on the sensor or the reluctor wheel
Wires and circuits have burned or shorted out
A short in the crankshaft position sensor wiring harness
A broken or corroded crankshaft position sensor connector
Engine misfire(s)
Faulty crankshaft position sensor
Faulty camshaft position sensor
Faulty ECM

I image a bad ground should be included in this list. any crushed wires? Anyway, not what's causing your noise.

From what I can tell I don’t have an exhaust leak. I checked what ever I could and it doesn’t seem like a leak. Didn’t mean to get off topic with the other thing just didn’t know if it was a possibility. Friend was reading something on YouTube that someone had an issue where their thrust plate backed out and was rubbing against the sensor.

Wasn’t trying to steer off topic but a friend of mine read that someone’s thrust plate backed out and it was hitting the sensor causing a chirp noise. But come to think of it, if that was happening I should be having engine issues as well.

I wouldn't drive it until you get it figured out if you can help it. It could cause huge issues if by chance you did have a lifter spin. This was part of the reason I asked about your springs and how many miles on them. did you rev it high rpm lately?
