Default noise from camshafts!

The noise is like a squealing noise it varies throughout the rev range.

It has happened since i changed the tappets and cambelt (all new items).

I know i have done everything correct.

I was thinking that i have over tightened the cambelt as the noise comes from the camshafts at the front of the cylinder head facing you.

Please any comments would be welcome!

Many thanks and all the best!

I would say most likely is the belt is to tight, you should be able to turn it through 90 degrees on it's longest run with one finger and thumb, with next to no effort.
As it happened when you did the belt this agains points to the belt/tension.
