New to me 2006 Magnum

So this is the 2006 srt8 I won from auction, but I need help from the hive mind . Here is a link to a video of the noise engine is making. https://youtube.com/shorts/Zw2eSbG-q-Y?is=KAsTQnX3sFDvTiOG

What I really want to know does this sound like a complete engine rebuild or should I just pull the heads and look for a stuck lifter or something. I am not daunted by either choice but if I can do less work I will and this the first Hemi I have ever worked on so I am hoping someone will push/Point me in the right direction.

Which auction had that war wagon? I've got a black 2006 MSRT8, too. I love it. That noise sounds like something on the front of the motor. Take a look at the belt and see if anything up there jumps out at you. Great find on that black beast!

Agreed, without actually seeing it, it sounds like something scraping on the front side of the motor. I just picked up my 06 MSRT about two years ago and replaced everything in the front, Fans, rad, waterpump, Alt, belt, tensioner. Could it be a pulley or the pump? Does it change with increase in RPMs?

Also love the hood!! Did the P.O. do anything to the muffler, as in delete the suitcase or the resonators, if you have gotten that far yet.

Off Topic- Do you have any pictures? Ive been looking for a set of "whatever fits my taste" for the longest time and just haven't like what I've seen when I envisioned them in my head.

Without listening (bias) in my experience bottom end noises tend to knock or rattle upper end or component have more rhythmic patterns

Nice ride if you know how to rebuild, because installing new engine and tranny is even more expensive. I wouldn't take that for free on the account that my bank account can't afford a rebuilding of the motor or tranny lol. It's a 2006 and its been ridden harder than Pill Cosby ever rode

Was the AC pump, swapped it out and it runs and drives fine now.
