Okay so I need some help please. So for the I’d say past 50k miles my 4.0 has had a slight tap nothing crazy but loud enough to be noticeable it never got any worse nore gave me any issues this entire time. With that being said I went to crank it this evening and the noise was very much apparent and much louder so much as to say a slight knock at this point appears to being coming from bottom end but with that being said the new much louder “knock/tap” don’t seem to get any louder nor change tone while reving the engine or wt higher rpms. Any ideas?
 
IF possible make a video and move the camera around the engine compartment where the sound is loudest so that members on the forum can further assist you in diagnosing your sound.
How many miles are on your engine and what type of oil and viscosity do you use ?

Yes, but it won’t seem to give me the option to upload a video to the forum?
