Default Odd noise coming from my Engine. *Video* *Update 9-6-12*

Can my fellow texans help me identify this sound? i really don't have an idea what it could be. I want to have a good idea of what it could be before I decide to open the engine up.

Thanks,
Update.

Well i found the problem it wasn't a spun bearing BUT spun bearings......
Cant even start to think what was the problem. but ill get the engine rebuilt before I leave to Virginia on the 15th.
Ive never seen an engine eat bearings that bad.....

Ouch... The noise is coming from the engine? Not driveline. Remove valve covers and Check for anything irregular, drain oil and cut open oil filter. When did it start while driving? Hope its nothing major but its sounds wicked. Try your best to diagnose problem without running it more so you can salvage. I had a noise similar like that but ended out being my flywheel was thrashed and tore up the back of the engine.

Spun rod bearing, this is exactly what mine sounded like. Then again it could be a lifter that has failed.
