It might be me and my computer?

Maybe someone that is smarter than me can get it "to play".

I can only start with a few questions - does this happen all the time or only when "x". "X" being something like the car has to sit for "y" hours, ect.

Also, does it go away after some period of time?

Well when it started it would go away after the engine warmed up but now the noise is constant.

Click on the "original link" link. ( I right click, open in new window) I have no idea what it is. Not valves, more like bearing to me, or rubbing on timing belt cover, balance shaft something, Have you done anything recently? When you were making this video, did the car die or did you shut it off?

No car runs normal. You can hear the ticking of the valves. I'm going to adjust them and see if the noise goes away or if anything is damaged. Just wondering if anyone has this problem. Btw the car was only revved to 3000 in the video

All I heard was a sound clip. At first it sounded like the engine, then a few seconds later it sounded like the power steering pump. There is a TSB on the inlet hose o-ring that could fix the noise. I'll try to find it.


Here is a link to it. Hope it works. http://ww2.justanswer.com/uploads/di...14_a07-086.pdf

sorry the link isn't working, that link I posted though should bring you straight to the video if you copy and paste in new tab.

EXV6NIGHTHAWK it isn't that problem because I fixed that over the summer.

noise is the engine alone

Hey so talked to my uncle who used to work on busses and showed him the video. He said to check the pulleys. I removed the serpentine belt and the noise went away. It sounds like it might be the power steering pulley but just checked really quick. Turned by hand and it sounds rough. Thanks alot for the help I'm going to take a closer look Thursday and I'll keep everyone updated
