Weird sound from engine-video
What is this weird sound coming from my engine? It's a whirring sort of sound that I hear when the engine is cold and when it's idling, or when it's cold and I'm shifting and the engine is at low rpm's. It rises with the rpm and then dissapears at 2000 rpm or so. When the engine is warm it dissapears too. Any ideas of what it is?
Here's the link to listen to it-

I dont have a VE but from what I've read on here is that it makes clacking sounds when cold so I'm guessing its your VTCs...check it out there a thread somewhere with more details

Someone on youtube commented that it could be a blown headgasket (OUCH-bad news), does this sound like a possibility?

One of the accesories[alty/ps pump/water pump/ac pump.] or tensioner pullys might be the cause of the noise...
Remove one accessory belt at a time,then run the engine to see if the sound goes away...
