So i just encountered some engine knocking on the B, my better judgement would tell me Spun rod bearing. since it clearly makes a noise after 2500 rpms.

NOw aside from that would anything else in the engine make a similar knocking sound?

Lost motion assembly? Rockers>?

Reason i ask is cause the sounds doesnt sound on the bottom end it sound as if it's under the valve cover/ head area.
..

Idle is fine as well

What else could it be. Head wise? what do failing lost motions sound like?
