How long has it been doing that? The noise

No idea how long it had been doing it w/ the previous owner.
Putfile is very annoying cause I took the camera all oevr the engine bay...only the first 2 seconds of the video are playing for me.

I don't know if it just the video, but it sounds pretty harsh to me...more than just a header leak, but I would need to hear it in person. I would juast start off by replacing the header gaskets like said before then go from there.
The oil pressure seems to move quite a bit...is it warm while it does that? Those stock gauges suck BTW, I would look into getting a mechanical before you think there is something wrong.

I guess I'll start with header gaskets...I hope it fixes it but I'm being somewhat pessimistic about it.

Could just be the video, but it sounds like a rod knock to me. that would explain the low oil pressure at idle as well. but its hard to say from a video.
sorry foir the double post, thought i hit the edit button, lol.

cant tell from the vid what it is but sounds like maybe a rod knock my guage is on the r of normal when idling but your stock gauge could be off too. at the same time my engine only has 7,000 miles on it also... goodluck and let us know the outcome.
