Cannot even hear in neutral revving......only squeals once car in motion under load 3rd gear/4th gear 1800-2000rpms let’s out a screech then above becomes silent again with barely detectable squealing.
will know for sure when it comes out.

Wouldn’t the sound of lifters eating cam or Rod bearings be a constant noise More of an internal knock or tap and not one associated with rpms And a clear External noise related to Revolutions of the Crankshaft Pulley itself.

For a collapsed lifter, sure.
But for a lifter roller eating into the cam lobe, it’ll squeak in relation to the crank pulley since the crank mounts onto the crank which is tied to the cam via the timing gear and chain.
Heres an example of the lifter eating the cam in the first minute of the video.

After driving for hour or so, high speed the high pitched squeal at 1800-2000rpm turns into a sound of rubber slipping. A more dull sound which leads me to believe that Harmonic balancer is becoming detached and after heating up from driving the pitch in noise I’m getting changes.
