Remove the fan belt and then start the engine. If the noise goes away  
it is either the generator or water pump. If it is still there it  
probably is a loose crank pulley. The key ways on the pulley commonly  
come loose and the crank pulley will rock back and forth at idle.  
Usually it sounds like a rod noise.
