Slight brake squeal is normal. Valve lifter chatter is normal for a minute or two after a cold start (time for oil pressure to build.) Yes, have your head gasket checked out, though I don't know the best DIY procedure. Also, at this age (the cars, not yours ;)), the harmonic balancer is likely to be worn out. If it is, you - or your experienced Saab mechanic - will hear it squeal on startup. If everything is ok, she should purr. Good luck.
