anywas last night i was going about 80mph on the 5 when my passenger tire blew... i spun out and luckily i didnt hit anyone or anything, now this morning, when i turned on my car i started to hear a knocking sound... not to loud... i drove the car around for a few hours, no power loss, everything feels fine, but that knocking sound is still there, its audibly present with the hood open, inside the car it isnt to loud... what do you guys think?

when i put my ear to the top of the valve cover id say its comming from the middle of it.

from my reading i keep hearing to do an oil change and valve adjustment

also to add... i hear it between idle and 3k RPM and then i dont hear it anymore... as the RPMS rise the knocking sound gets faster and then its gone... possibly moving to fast for me to hear it...
