My engine sounds like someone stuck a spoon in the garbage disposal. I've changed the timing belt, water pump, and cut the belt off the AC compressor but I don't know what the noise is. I've check the oil level and its good. I'm hopping its the alternator or exhaust leak but i doubt it lol. The engine seems to run strong which is why I'm having a hard time believing its in the engine but if it is can anyone tell me what it is so i can get my baby purring again????

I found it... It was a trashed bearing in my alternator. I found a write up on Nissannut.com saying i could use the alternator out of a 04 Quest no mod jus swap the pulley but that didn't work. Long story short put in a new stock replacement alternator and no more noise.
