2003 4.7 Durango engine noise
Have had a "whining" noise from the engine upon cold starts. It goes away after the engine is warm and also appears to be getting worse. I replaced the idler and tensioner pulleys and the alternator with no help. I disconnected the belt to see if I could isolate the noise and it is not the water pump or power steering pump! The noise is coming from the right side bank (passenger side). It appears to be coming from the valve cover area towards the front of the bank. I can see no metal in the oil which is good. I have taken a video of it and am trying to get it transferred to YouTube. I will post it here as soon as I can. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I have 111k on the engine.

Here is the youtube video of the noise. The serpetine belt is not connected so this is an internal noise. It does go away after a few miles as the engine warms.
