Inline 6 or V-8?

First thing I would do is remove the v-belts and start it up. If the noise is gone then it is either the alternator or the water pump (or the power steering pump if so equipped).

If the noise persists I'd pull the timing chain cover and inspect it for wear.

Hope that helps. thumbs_up
