lol wow i just had that same exact noise like a week ago thank god for me its and exhaust leak, i thought it was a bent valve or something, i didnt get the exhause leak fixed yet but i see the crack in my h-pipe....try this go on a dirt road or loose gravel, then start the car up and rev the engine and see if u can see the gravel or dust moving around under the pipes or if u got a buddy with a lift then it easy lol good luck

Could have trimmed the first minuteoff of that video....Thats how my rod bearings sounded when they spun...Get the oil pressure checked, don't go by the "gauge" in the dash. Run low on oil ever?

Ouch

pray for this guy its not a rod bearing. it does seem loud for an exhaust leak.

well the car runs fine when it first starts but then when it gets warmed up it starts the noise also I can rev it up at a certain point the noise will stop but at idle the noise is constant...............does anyone know the cost of replacing a rod bearing?

Rod bearing replacement requires you to remove the engine and rebuild it. Its not cheap. Mine sounded a lot like yours at first and ended up sounding like this before I fixed it...
