    Turbo Caravan strange noise

    Hello everyone,
    I need your advice on my 89 Turbo Caravan. It is stock, except for the Garrett Turbo 1 turbo in place of the mitsubishi turbo, I've been running for years. The van has almost 230,000 miles on it, a recent head gasket within the last couple of years, also had the A520 transmission rebuilt by Ed. Not too long after the transmission job, on an extremely cold day, I started to hear this noise off and on while driving. I thought this might be something spinning in the transmission that shouldn't be spinning (Like a bearing that the outter race was not holding tight in or something). Ed didn't seem to think so. Now the problem has gotten worse and more often. I even heard it once when I started the car in the driveway, not moving. So that lead me to think maybe my timing belt tensioner was shot, as I didn't replace it with the last timing belt. No luck after installing the new one. I took off the A/C belt thinking maybe that tensioner was the culprit.... Can you listen to this video and offer advice? You can hear the sound around 16 seconds and again at 25 seconds.
    Any help is appreciated!
