Hmmm...... I'm sorry..... that sounds engine internal, and to me it sounds bottom-end. Based solely on the sound in the video, I'd be scared right now.

How handy are ya?

Oh, I was hoping I wouldn’t get that type response. I’m fine with rebuilding a front end suspension but I’ve never removed and rebuilt an engine...if that’s what it needs.

Could be a water pump, an alternator bearing.... etc...
Do you have that noise when the engine is cold ?

Remove the belt and start the engine for a few seconds... still noisy ?

Get a stethoscope and pinpoint the exact location...

Dont conclude too fast....

Good luck

Pomerlo - thanks for the positive thoughts and your suggestions. I’ll take your advice and give it a good once over this weekend.
