Loud knocking/tapping from engine
It occurred after running low on oil. I've topped the oil up since but the noise persists. The knocking sound gets faster if I increase revs. It drives just fine though.
What have I broke? Whatever it it sounds like an expensive fix!Cogito ergo sum!

Low oil might spell bad news, but it shouldn't be low in the first place (leak?) You didn't by any chance overfill it now?yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ
