A new car for me and it has what sounds like rocker arm noise. I know there roller rockers but do they really make this much noise. The belts screech is another issue..

Cool I’m glad it wasn’t any more serous than that for you

That would certainly account for the noise. What's the plan to fix it?

I just used my dremel and sanded a little off the valve cover flange..it worked like a charm..

Good thing you caught that, a friend of mine had that same issue in his boat, but the rocker arm hung the valve open you can guess what happened next...
