not sure but sounds like timing chain loose and hitting the cover.. take a thin screw driver, start the engine and check around the engine where the knocking is stronger.

or you can test the chain cranking engine it with wrench and check the distributor. if there is a delay, it is the chain.

have to check that too...easier than taking the oilpan away

but i think that the loudest part is between the oilpan and flywheel :S

it does have a tiny rpm drop when idling. it idles on the first line... i think between 400-500rpm but it still runs great... acceleration etc is fine..
