check to see if some of the exhaust manifold bolts have broken off, very common problem

Does it have good oil pressure?

The first part of the video, it sounded like a rod knocking. When you raised the hood, it sounded like a lifter.

Start by making sure that the knock is coming from the engine itself. Use a long screwdriver and place it at different places on the engine and put the handle to your ear and listen for the knock. Check the catalytic converter first for the knock. I have seen several including my 2001 that had the honeycomb break loose and it would knock. It sounded like a rod bearing was gone.

That usually makes more of a hiss/tick.

Sounds like an exhaust manifold leak to me.

 

My money is on a broken bolt or two.

 

It's a very common problem.

How's the oil pressure? That's either internal engine noise or the exhaust manifold.

I got a low presure warning once last week when i first went to start it. Was going to change the oil this weekend its alittke bit shy of being due but i have neen leaking alittle oil to . Do u think they are connected ?

[muddkatt]

Low to no oil pressure will cause lifters to not pump up and they can tap. Connecting rod bearings and main bearings can fail. A damaged rod bearing will make a knock, and depending on how bad the damage, it can ranged from a slight knocking sound to sounding like a jack hammer on a piece of steel.

In my opinion, yes they are related.

Oil is not low according to the dip stick : ( its not knocking now its weird some times it does some times it doesnt but usually its after getting it up to speeds 55+ .
