Hey gang, rookie home taught floundering mechanic here again.
Had Rusty out for a drive today, noticed a Knocking sound at high RPMs, more so under load (ie. up hill or quicker acceleration). Seems to be left side, under the valve cover, but its a guess.
I was a dummy and neglected to check the oil level recently, it was lower than I care to admit but still registering on the dip stick.
Added oil and the sound improved but has not resolved.
I plan to look under the valve covers this weekend. What am I looking for?
I realize this is a vague and rudimentary description, but I made a disclaimer in the first line of this post. I have never been inside an engine before! Lol.
-thanks
