The engine makes this loud tapping/knocking noise only at 1100 RPM. You can't hear the noise if the engine is Over 1100RPM, or if The engine is warmed up. The car has 108,000 miles on it, and I have put 10,000 of those miles with the noise. Please give your input on what the noise could be
It's most likely a hydraulic lash adjuster. I'm about to reach mine. Hopefully this helps.

Ok here's a couple test. First is louder when cold or hot? Bearings and journals get worse as they get hot. Piston gets better when hot. Then. Pull the E-brake and put it into first. Lightly let the clutch out. If it gets worse it's bottom end. You can also kill cylinders to isolate it. If pulling a plug or shutting off an injector effects it it's either rod, piston or rod bearing. If goes away with a light load on such as the e brake one. And canceling cylinders doesn't help it's most likely

you guys are tards who think its a rod. its something in the valvetrain. i have this sound and if you knew about cars rod know is inconsistant. and on mine the sound is hand in hand with my exhaust pulses.
