WTF is this sound? Ok so I did a couple of burnouts with my car today, nothing to major. I parked my car went and ate came back out and its making this loud *** noise from the front of the engine it sounds like somebody is hitting a piece of metal and its vibrating.
I got the video of it and it kinda goes away after a bit.
Any thoughts?

Check your idler pulley/tensioner pulley. They can make some strange noisies. Pretty easy fix. If there is any space between the mounting base and the base of the arm that the pulley is mounted to, its shot. I had a guy come through a shop I was working in in a suburban and his was the idler pulley. Just an idea, hope its helpful.
