Motor sounds "off" ? (HD video)

Hey guys, please listen to the video, and tell me if you hear a tick? Could it just be the belt? Any input is appreciated.

Sounds like a Toyota to me. Mine has that breathy tick too, always has. I'm always surprised when I hear one that doesn't.

Thanks Kid, our 00 w/ the 3vzfe is super super quiet, I guess switching back and forth between the two made me notice it more.

Sounds like some bearing noise going on. There is some ticking, which I thought might be injectors. Hard to tell just listening to a video though. I found when going through the injectors(o-rings, housing seals, etc) and timing belt roller/tensioners really silenced a lot of running noises on our 4runner.

Sounds like a normal 3vze to me
