Sounds exactly how my car did when the rockers flew off lol. If I was there I would be able to tell you.

dont start it again till you pull that valve cover

Ouch!! I thought AED built engines don't break? Sounds like a rod.

could be just a rocker coming off...you definitely need to pull the cover off and check...obviously, if they are all there, you're looking at a much bigger issue

thanks guys

[Eek!] Shitty man! Hopefully it's not too serious, doesn't sound good though.

Is the engine missing like misfiring? Can't tell.....

But pull the valve covers off and send me some pics Id bet 87.56% your issue is not bottom end related from that shit quality video.

I cant do anything for you until december I am just too behind with my health and existing customers and my own shit.....sorry.

What were you doing when this happened?
 
Posted by kingdavid (Member # 11179) on :
 
When my rocker came lose that's exactly how it sounded.
 
Posted by hidnn.o.s. (Member # 1219) on :
 
Pretty shocked you'd rev it, let alone even fire it as this was clearly not right when it happened, meaning you already know the sound and know something was very wrong.
 
Posted by 5LTR SVT (Member # 7080) on :
 
@T got on it a lil but nothing crazy, i let off, heard the noise and drove home carefully

@kingdavid ya everyone saying same thing so im a lil more at ease

@Don i needed a video to see what ppl thought
 
Posted by CinCoDiez (Member # 4216) on :
 
im not an expert by any means but my guess loose rocker,pull them covers off and see
 
Posted by 65mustang408 (Member # 8681) on :
 
Can you hit the limiter so i can hear it better? Def sounds like valve train
 
Posted by asskickn88 (Member # 4957) on :
 
It sounds like a pushrod bouncing off the inside of the valve cover, I'll bet you broke a rocker stud or something backed off. Don't run it and get those valve covers off ASAP.
 
Posted by 50Reasons (Member # 6452) on :
 
Could also be a failed lifter going bad
 
Posted by sixfive0 (Member # 9996) on :
 
rocker or gasket MAYBE..you need help with that my mechanic is really smart bro let me know
 
Posted by FOXX5.0 (Member # 9094) on :
 
Last time I.hurd that is was my lifter
 
Posted by SLOWSN95 (Member # 8269) on :
 
Really hard to say what it is for sure by listening to it in the video. But based off of the way it sounded and that intermittent "putt/clank", sounds more like a valve train issue. I'm going to have to agree with the guys above and say its a rocker..

Hope you get this resolved soon Willie.

I had a rocker stud break in my 95 once, it sounded similar. As Dan asked, is it missing? You'd be able to tell under load real quick... It'll miss hard. Start with taking off the valve covers.

A rocker came off....

I've seen that a few times, the rocker stud snaps and the pushrod will knock up and down between lifter and valve cover. The spider plate will hold the lifter in the block. The time's I've seen it they were circle track, SBC motors and they knocked like hell. The inside of the valve cover and pushrod are both beat to fuck. Its just such a loud clanking noise it sounds exactly like the times I've seen it happen.
