What is this noise

I have had my car sittin in the garage the last three weeks, and now it makes this loud clickin sound whenever the engine is running. It also dies when i try and start it, and the clickin goes along with teh engine speed. THe higher I rev, the faster the clicking sound goes. What do u think it could be, Ive heard everything from dirty fuel injectors to broken pushrods, bearings. What should I do?

I think engines with low oil also make a clicking noise...

In any event, I'd get a friend that can give you a real answer over there before you drive it anywhere.

It may just be a rocker arm. But definately get someone over there to check it out for you.
