Not sure about my engine
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9FDefVBUTo
My engine just make a lot of noise, I'm not a car professior, so I know nothing about the engine.
It's difficult to describe the sound.
I need all of you to help me, and thank you very much.
68k miles on the engine, changed oil 2k miles before.

was that a cold start? (first time you started it that day, or first time starting it in atleast a few hours?)
sounds pretty terrible, sound like oil starvation, loud belts, and something else i cant put my finger on.
how does it drive?
whats your oil level?
ninja edit: if it was a cold start most of those noises should have gone away in about 5-15 seconds

Maybe a bad timing chain tensioner. If you use an automotive stethoscope, you can probably isolate where the noise is coming from. Should be able to pick one up at an auto parts store.

Oil level is good, a little bit over H line.
It drives normal.

its sounds pretty bad I dont know if the camera is amplifying the sounds.
are you using 5w-30?
if it drives normal with no problems then maybe you just have a loud motor. Injectors are normally pretty loud for us.
how old are you belts?
the tensioner could be old and noisy.
if it drives fine and no CELs then i'd keep driving but keep your eye on it

I just replaced my drive belt 1200miles ago.
How much will it cost me to replace the tensioner at the dealer?
No CEL...
