is this being started on a test stand or in the car?

If its in the car are you 100% sure its from the engine itself and not some sheetmetal somewhere?

Is it from the passenger side oil pan area, carb, distributor area, front of engine, rear of engine, drivers side oil pan, starter, generator, belt too loose, paint on the crank pulley, waterpump?

if you low idle it as slow as it will go does the squeak seem to follow the crankshaft RPM or is it faster?

Does pushing the clutch in and out change anything about the squeak?

Need some more info to point us towards a solution...
