Weird noise

Land Cruiser 80 series engine noise - YouTube

Any one have any idea what this noise is? It is a 96 80 series. Towards the end of the vid I rev it up and to me the noise doesnt seem to get any worse.

Start by removing the belts one at a time. Make sure the noise in not an idler bearing/ alternator. When you have the belt not spinning the water pump DO NOT LET IT RUN VERY LONG IT WILL OVER HEAT!. It sounds very bad I will help you out and give you $15 for it.

I took off the drive pulley and that didnt do anything.

how many miles on it? do 80's have timing chains like "R" motors? did it eat a guide?

I took all the belts off and the noise stopped. When I reinstall the new belts I will put the 2 for water pump and alternator on and start the motor again. If it doesn't do it then it must be the AC.
