Rattle/clatter sound

[JoshuaB91]

Hey guys, I am in need of some help.

When I turn on my car, i hear this clatter sound and my oil light stays on. It wasn't always like this though. Before when i would turn on the car that rattle would happen, but it wouldn't be no more than 2sec or so. The oil light would go off when the sound went away, but just yesterday the noise never went away and the oil light stays on now.

Some videos if they help.

This one is better quality, and to my surprise, the noise and oil light turn off towards the end.

pull valve cover off and check timing chain guides.

Have you checked your oil level? That would be my first guess... :picardfp:

You dented up your oil pan I bet causing no flow. I wouldnt drive it till u figured it out.

Check oil level of course. pull valve cover off and inspect the timing chain and guides. but to me sounds like you have a bottom end knock. when you first turn on the car its normal to hear this for about a (1) second as oil pressure has to build up and oil has to get thrown around the motor. valve tick will usually go away if you rev it but don't rev it if you aren't sure because if it is a bottom end knock you will just make it worse on the moving/damaged components.

From the terra bad video quality I would guess rod knock. Time to upgrade to a blacktop sir.

I don't know who wouldn't... but i guess i won't be surprised who doesn't check it after hearing a noise like that.

anyways, thanks for the help guys. I'll be looking into all of it. If anyone would like to add, be my guest. help is always appreciated.
