If you pull the pan and clean the screen on the oil inlet the sound might go
away.

Ive had my 92 318 Dak in for an oil leak about a month ago, they put threee
things of dye in still no leak. So I go to change the oil and decide to
flush out the dye with "motor flush". Ran two quarts of cheap oil through
afterwards then filled with mobil 1.
A few days later, I'm out letting the truck warm up and I heard this God
awful
knock from the driver side. Not a lifter knock, much louder. It lasted for
maybe 15 secs and went away. I still can hear a knock now when I start up,
but not anywhere as loud as the first. This knock is intermittent too. I
have distinguished this knock from my injector tick. THe Dealer hears
nothing. I too am concerned.
Maybe it was just that flush.
TO EVERY ONE: DONT EVER USE ANYTHING TO CLEAN YOUR ENGINE OUT!!!!
