Re: Engine Problem !!!!
I'd start by checking the oil. Make sure it's not low and there is no metal debris.
A screwdriver can be used to listen to various areas to help locate the source of the noise.
Pulling the valve covers might be an easy way to take a look around if you're sure it's coming from the top end.

What fireturd said. Look for a pulled out exhaust rocker stud or backed off nut.
