Adjust the valves and see if the noise is reduced.

that sounds pretty close to how mine did after I spun a bearing but Im not quite sure. Try a valve adjustment.

thanks for the input guys, any other ideas??

Audiojb

I cant really offer to much more insight. I checked my oil pan and found metal flakes in it. I believe low oil pressure was what got me, so now i'm rebuilding. Just get a few more opinions or pull it out and look for yourself if you have another means of transportation.

also guys if i did spin a rod bearing, i wouldnt be able to drive my car right?

Audiojb

I would advise against it

did you find out what it was? just curious. my car kind of sounds a little like that now even though its a brand spank'n new build. still trying to figure out if its just the pistons rattling.

my experience with noises:
valve adj= ticking
spun bearing= knocking

Berlinetta F1

the humm of your exhaust make it kind of hard to hear the noise very well so heres a few things to try.

does the noise get louder as the car heats up? - if so I would say spun rod bearing

does the noise go away when you push in your clutch pedal? - if so I would say main transmission bearing.

if neither of thoes then I would say do a valve adjustment like Dogginator said.
(its usualy a good idea to listen to what he has to say)

Im no expert but maybe that will help
