Default Rod knock? God help me (or you)!

Hi,
As always I come here for help. I've noticed (long time ago) I have a ticking sound, like valves. Then someone told me it might be a rod knock (hearing my video). During first seconds I didn't press my clutch, the throwout bearing is very noisy. Then I pressed the clutch and most of the noise vent away. Could you take a look guys? I left the camera on the battery cover. There is no noise inside the cabin except throwout bearing and gearbox.

Sounds normal to me.

Maybe someone can pinpoint the ticking in person, kinda hard to diagnose over the internet.

Yeah, next to impossible to diagnose virtually but from what I heard - basically nothing out of ordinary - seems fine. Especially after your comment of it going away when you depress the clutch. If there were motor problems, e.g. valves, rods, etc, there'd be no difference if you stepped on the clutch or not, it'd still be there.

One of the best tools I own for this type of thing:



Thankfully, don't have to use it too often; other than to look like the doctor my mother wished for but instead got disappointed with her SalesmanSlime son.

Though I'm really depressed right now it really made me smile
