You didn't spray anything on your belts by chance? Engine bay dressing or armour-all could contribute to belt slippage when cold. As the belts warm up the material becomes more pliable and the noise goes away. Maybe loosen one belt at a time on a cold engine and see if the noise goes away. It's cheap troubleshooting in any event.
As far as the tap, I had the valves on my prelude done by Honda and is cost $140 for a twin cam. I would think the truck valvetrain would be cheaper. It actually looks fairly easy to do in the driveway with the online manual, though I admit I haven't done it yet...
Good luck with the troubleshooting.
