Few months ago I put in a 130k mile 98 ZJ engine in my XJ.
New timing chain, sprockets, and gaskets.
No slack in the rods from what I could tell when I had the pan off.
All has been fine for a few thousand miles.
Over the last week it has been slowly getting noisier and noisier.
At first was so little that I was even questioning myself if I really heard anything out of the ordinary. Now, it's crazy noisy.
It otherwise runs just fine. Doesnt seem down on power or anything.
Please try to ignore the fan running in the first video. It was nowhere near as loud as the engine noise.
Second video is showing the lag in building oil pressure. I should have waited as after it sits, it takes much longer to build pressure, but gives you an idea that it is not normal operation.

What could this noise be? Main or crank bearings?
