Can someone help with this noise.
I bought this Cayenne $500. PO said it did not run. His mechanic told him to get a new engine. When I got it I stuck a new battery in it. I hit the key and it fired right up but it makes some noise. I realize that the air pumps are disconnected but they would not cause this sound. The only code I am seeing is multiple misfires on #3. I have connected it to an analyzer but I cannot find anything that sticks out. I have a spare motor so I can replace it if I need to, but this is just a toy for me so if I can make this noise go away, I would prefer that over swapping the engine.

That is my plan to run the bore scope down the cylinders. The second video is at idle. It sounds like an old tractor under the hood. The PO said he was driving it and it just started running rough. I don’t know if the shop he took it to tried to adjust the valves or something like that. The engine looked like it had been into. The intake manifold has the signs of being from a junkyard. The shop had it for two months and then told the guy they were closing and he needed to come get it. He said the shop had a sign that said “we work on foreign cars” LOL
