My 2000 Ford Expedition with the 5.4l V8 is making a weird lower end engine noise. At the bottom of this post there is a link to the video I made and uploaded to YouTube. It has a slight "diesel noise" at idle. The noise quiets down when I rev the engine up, almost to the point of being silent. The engine has made this sound since I got it over a month ago, and it has not gotten any louder. There is a pretty noticeable piston slap when the engine is cold, but that sound goes away once the engine starts to warm up.
The engine does have new oil in it. I did notice a metal shaving or two on the dipstick when I checked it last week, but i'm not sure if that is a big deal or not. I am really worried, so any help would be appreciated.
