ok i'm a little scared here
its getting really cold out in the the singel digits and possibaly colder and when i start my car it starts like it normaly dose but if i take it over 2 grand before it warms up it makes a sound that is like a high pitch grinding sound that makes me think the apex seals arent getting fully lubed but if i let it worm up for about 10-15 munits i have no problem no noise no nothing
i'm wondering is it that the apex seals arent getting fully lubed untill it has warmed up or is it my altanator belt making the noise or the pully that that runs on because the altanator starts to make a screaching noise if i dont have the belt as tight as i can get it and it seams to keep comming lose
any one got a clue ?

I run strait premix (removed oil injection) and i just pour 1oz per gallon into the take before filling up. You could get away with 1/4oz per gallon or less.

Maybe the temperature change in the block is moving belt pully mounts a few degrees in a particular direction causing the belt to chirp?

'If you heard a loud 'scary' grinding and it was your apex seals, you would not be alive right now.' ........Sorry I coulden't resist.
Anyway, I betcha its a belt. Pick up some belt dressing and see how that works for you.

... if you've had to replace the belt twice, wouldn't that be a good clue that something's not quite right?
Have you checked your alternator bearings & water pump bearings & such? With the belt off, spin them (when cold, since that's when you have the problems). Feel for any roughness, and make sure there's no play in the shaft.
