Okay so I need some help figuring out where this noise is coming from and what's causing the problem. Someone said it could be a rod. Anyways what do you guys think? It only makes it once warmed up and anywhere from between the rpm's of like 2000-3000 and under light throttle. If anyone has idea of what it is, what do you think it'll cost me?

If i had to guess based on a video...Sounds like a rod to me, likely a bearing imo. See if you can't get a cheap mechanics stethoscope and try to pinpoint it. If its predominantly coming form the pan, jack the motor up, drop the pan and start pulling rod caps. (if its not blatantly apparent)

Just for the hell of it, go over the belt, pulleys, make sure they are all tight, If it's an auto check the torque converter bolts, lot's of noises can mimic a rod, it just doesn't sound quite like a rod to me.

Thanks for the opinions and help guys. I did check the belts and nothing was loose or anything. So sounds like a rod bearing then you guys think?
