LOUD engine rattling sound that doesnt go away! VIDEO ADDED, HELP!

[diyanich]

When I bought my X,it had no oil pressure and was making this kind of noise,but louder.Later I decided to get an engine swap.I bought my X cheap,I knew it had engine problem.
So,my anticipation,based on my experience,if you keep running it like that,you may get into the same situation.Don't run it until it gets worse,if you get into oil starvation situation(if that noise is timing chain related) you may get more damage.

Couldnt agree more, got the bills to prove it. If you can get a warranted second hand engine it would probably be the better way to go. I couldnt find a 4.6 at any price.
