    When is the last time you drove it?

    If you drive it daily, you have a new club to join... Spun Bearing

    If you just fired it up from an extended nap it could be a collapsed lifter. Still may be a lifter gone bad even if it has not been sitting.

    Get a cheap stethoscope from Harbor Freight, or use a large screw driver to the ear. Locate the source area of the knock. That will help diagnose.

    Help them, for they know not that which they do not know!

    It's strange sometimes it's not there and goes away under load . I just picked up the car so unfortunately I don't know when this started. I have to pick up a stethoscope today. I was hoping lifters

    Doesnt sound metallic enough to be a collapsed lifter.

    Sounds bad. stop running/revving the crap out of it. Drop the pan and inspect your rod bearings.

    With the sound of the squeaky belts it possibly a pulley. Drain the oil and cut the filter open to check for bearing material.
