just before i change gears, when reving a bit, my motor makes this weired noise, sounds like tappets, but real loud, maybe even sploppy timing chain i really dont know, it mainly happens when running low on oil. Sam

drive it up a steep hill and if the noise gets louder after say 200 klm's it will be the oil pump, it will eventually blow your motor, it has happened to me and a few people i know, it is usually caused by an oil leak and lack of oil OR it could be your oil pump is on its way out, Or it could just be that your bearings are shot, or all of the above, not trying to scare you, but it may just be the tappets, or it might be silght piston slap..how old is the motor?
