Unhappy weird rubbing sound...

i think i've given up all hope on my car...here's whats up. i got it back today, ran great for about 60 miles then all of a sudden there is this high pitched rubbing noise coming from the engine...it gets louder and more high pitched when engine speed increases. i even recorded it on video camera if you guys wanna hear it. here is the link.. (it's in a .zip file. the actual video is a .wmv)

had to do this cause the sound it is making is kind of hard to describe...but it makes my engine sound really horrible when i rev.

thanks for the help

Re: weird rubbing sound...

Might just be a wheel bearing.

Re: weird rubbing sound...

it sounds like the balance shaft, but it may not be the shaft itself but just a bushing. Its really hard to tell since there are numerous pullies and rotating objects on an engine. If the balance shaft either front or rear is making that noise, they aren't easy to replace. Usally the motor will shake a little more often if they are unbalanced but not if the bushings are grinding
