Might have a rod knock or broken rocker arm(s)?

[bimmer_E30]

Sounds like i have either a rod knock or a broken rocker arm...my problem is that the car is to loud to diagnose the problem...if i have a broken rocker arm would i have CEL? or maybe i just need to adjust my valves?

:(

also my car seems to pull hard at certain RPMs...

it's far from stock, i have headers, Full exhaust, etc...also just noticed that i scraped my exhaust and made a leak somewhere since it's dripping water from somewhere when cold starting.

the engine has no leak or sign of any wear at all...my oil is still at Max, and i did an oil change 2 weeks ago and drove the car for more than 600miles.

rod knock sounds different from broken rocker arm. if concerned, open the valve cover and look. it is very easy to do. then youll know if its a rocker arm. broken rocker arms are not uncommon.

i could hear the ticking/floating noise around 3000-5000rpms? i will do this over the weekend.

whatever you do, don't pull the valve cover and actually look at your rockers. Posting on a forum should always be your first course of action in cases where you think a rocker is broken.
