Need some help!! Knocking/Ticking going on.

Hey guys/gals, So I just got home and noticed my engine making a knocking sound. It was evenly spaced and sounded like it was in rhythm with the engine rpm's.

Default Need some help!! Knocking/Ticking going on.

Hey guys/gals,

So I just got home and noticed my engine making a knocking sound. It was evenly spaced and sounded like it was in rhythm with the engine rpm's. It sounds similar to a bad valve lifter. I checked the oil right after I shut the engine off....the oil level was only up to the "low" sign on the dipstick. I am waiting for the engine to cool to recheck it....I have a feeling it will be below "low". Can someone confirm that this is the kind of noise I would hear if indeed my oil level is low? I have a voice memo of it I could email to someone, if you are willing. Any help is appreciated.

P.S. My mods are as below in my signature. Could any of these, specifically the Motordyne plenum be causing this noise?
