Heat shields?

Have a friend start the car with your head under the hood and just start poking around. Theres hundreds of things on this car that can cause a "light metalic tinging sound"

Starter was part of problem replaced it today it covered up some of the noise it seems worse,almost like a bearing or something,will get a video up tomorrow.It only makes the noise if its the first time you start up fpr the day or if its sat for 3 or 4 hours.

Probably just one of the numerous #6203 bearings found in every idler, tensioner pulley, and Alternator front and rear..

Have you tried to start it without the belt on?

I have in my Marauder I think-lifter tick. It ticks or sounds like "marbles in a can" when I drive from 0-20. When I lay off the pedal, the clacking or ticking goes away. Before I rebuilt my engine, the chain tensioner wore out inside the engine because it's metal hitting metal. Over time the plastic material on the tensioner guide wears down. Then again, when i rebuilt the engine I had 198,000 miles on the car!
