Odd noise from engine

[jlagnese at massed.net (John Lagnese)]

Try letting the clutch up with the e-brake on. If it gets louder, its
bearings. Pulling 1 wire at a time and repeating will determine which rod
bearing it is.
Also you can use a mechanic's stethoscope, large screwdriver,  or hose
against the oil pan and block to try to isolate the noise.
