I have this terrible metal on metal clanking noise from the front of the motor when it is cold. After about 2 minutes of driving it is gone and will not come back until it is good and cold again. In most cases I have to let it sit over night to be heard. It has gotten louder in the last few days. One person that heard it said they thought it may be rod knock, but he is a satellite specialist, not a mechanic.
More details: only does it when cold, at idle or under throttle makes no difference. Very loud metal on metal noise that is somewhat erratic.
That is all I can tell you for now. I am going to see if I can make a video clip of it for you to all hear, but I am not sure if it will translate well over video or internet video. Guess we will see.

as mentioned...anyway cut the hose down and use it to isolate.....if you suspect rods/mains you can also listen with the hose placed on the oil pan
