Dude I really cant hear ****, even in the intervals you provided. The only odd thing I hear is the "deep pulsating sound" that sxy described. The only thing a noise like that can mean is lack of compression in one or more cylinders or an exhaust leak. However I have a feeling its the camera giving that noise more than anything.

Thats the thing, I don't hear anything really coming from the valve covers either. I can hear it when I listen to the headers if that means anything (might be an exhaust leak, but idk)

im not sure what taking the belt off is going to do besides stop coolant flow . the sound in your vid sounds like a bad exhaust leak, but could be in the bottom end its hard to tell. if the car was fine before and it just started all the sudden and only under load, i would rule out the transmission. you could install a magnetic drain plug, then drive it for awhile and pull it back out to check for metal. or you could take a sample of your used oil and send it to a lab to have it checked for how much percentage of metal is in it. then you compare that with recommended levels. or you could just take it to ford and pay them to diagnose the problem
