Please take a look at the comment I left on your last video. To check for a bad rod bearing, take the spark plug wires off one at time. If the noise diminishes or goes away on one of the cylinders, then you have found the cylinder with the bad rod bearing or bad piston pin. If the noise doesn’t go away, then it’s coming from something else, like one of the timing belt idler bearings or the belt tensioner bearing.
My 2c is that the noise seems to be consistent with each cylinder or power stroke so maybe it is indeed piston slap. You mentioned water in the oil so maybe that was thinned out too as a result ?
Do you still have this car? If you still have it, how's your owning experience been? I've been looking at them for years.... have my eyes on a few that I may look into? I do my own mechanic work, and it seems pretty simple to work on. Just as a fun Sunday car.... Though, I would like it to be a manual..... 😅

Came over from your mre channel.
It is him lol 😆
I was wondering
What was the final diagnosis and solution to this problem?
Small end bearing/piston slap - standard neglected 1.0 Nissan turbo. That oil looks like a chocolate cake so it's going to need a rebuild.

Yes it for sure is not 1 cylinder , we will prob pull the engine , not exactly a hard one or pull out for sure lol
Hell, maybe it's an exhaust leak? If it's piston slap it will get quieter as the engine gets hot. Common thing on old rwd Volvo turbos.
Any updates?
My Figaro isn't making any noises but just interested in learning what happened.
Do you still have this car?

If it is not Rod Knock, Piston Slap or Bearings, it must be rubbing some where........valve train on the cover? or underneath in the oil pan?
What about worn out camshaft?
Did you find the problem as I have the same sound does not sound like rod knock let me know thanks
Solid lifters? Tic
