not an easy one here you need to undo the bolts on the starter motor a little then spray in there, saying that it would be the same to remove it and service it.

not sure if you clutch has a service opening for locking the fly wheel for changing the timing belt but if it has that's a good area to spray into

is it a high pitched squeal? my car does that too. only on cold starts though. someone told me it was some sort of fan starting. others say a belt.

what are other peoples opinions on this?

what would you use to lock the flywheel? i know of the check valve you speak of. its a to the left of the gear selector shaft and linkage. it has a rubber pull-plug you have to pull out then you can see the flywheel. i've looked at the timing belt job instructions and it doesnt say anything about that check valve(opening) but i can see how it would help keep TOP DEAD CENTER.
