How about this noise??

Inspired by video "Can you tell me what it is?" I recorded the noises made by the engine in my Camry right after cold start. The engine is noisy like that for at least for 20000 mi.
This noisy engine is another reason why I am going to participate in cash for clunkers program.
The noise is from:
a] piston slap
b] worn out cam bearings
c] connecting rod bearings
d] the exhaust manifold shield
e] all of the above
"The low mileage is no substitution for rare oil changes"
The camera is cheap, that is why video is not in a good quality.
The car is running on 2 gallon of 2 stroke mix [found in the bushes near the vacant building across the street] added to the tank with 7 gallons of unleaded gas.
Enjoy!!

After 2 miles of driving the engine is very quiet. It sounds like 200,000 mi engine due to unfrequent oil changes by former owners and bad oil quality. Only good old 350 CID GM V-8 motors of the 70s as well as M21 engine of Russian Volga M-21 do not care much about the oil type, quality, and change interval.
I dont have means to test the actual mileage of the car, it was 55000 mi in 1995 [that probably was about 80K actual]
