take a broom stick and place it on the lower part of the block. stick your ear to it while the motor is running and move to each cylinder. you should be able to isolate which area is making the noise.

Thanks man. I'll try that. It's starting to sound worse.

thats not good. i wouldnt run it for to long. if you cant isolate it quickly you may have to pull the pan and check the main bearings for play.

slightly bent pushrod?that'll make a racket. and if youve got aluminum valve covers, itll change the pitch of the noise.
