Kh and i forgot to put on the video, it goes away ehen the car is warmed up, i tried 5w30 oil and it almost muffled it a little but then came back, it sounds to me like its coming from the s/c pulley but not for sure. thanks

Sounds like a collapsed lifter to me. Try sea-foaming the engine, or run a quart of ATF in the oil for halfhour before changing the oil. ATF in the oil will NOT do any harm.

Seafoam in the vac line wont help the lifter problem any, but it will clean up the internal top end components. Using it in the engine oil WILL however.

Having the same problem here just happend today . I just doono where to buy sea foam in canada ontario . My canadian tire dosent carry it .. Ill keep investigating the problem after work .. Hoping its not a flywheel issue..
 
I would think sea foam is easy to come by everywhere could always try at a boat place cause its almost certain to be there
 
Crappy should have it.

Same with Partsource.

Also Napa.

Try in that order because they're arranged from best price to worst.
