Knocking...

I listen to this noise that my supra makes after the oil filter gasket gave on the highway going too fast.

i added oil / new filter and this is what it sounds like when it is running...

does anyone know what specifically in the engine could be making this sound, or if a rebuild might fix it up?

BTW: the noise starts at an idle, then I rev it up when it gets faster, and I am almost stalling out when it gets slower (brake + let clutch up)

Thanks for the help

from the sound can anyone tell if the engine is salvageable, an anchor, or is it impossible to tell from sound?

thanks for the replies
Sounds like RK to me.

It can be rebuilt probably, I had one that thru the rod, still rebuilt it. You really won't know until it's it's tore down how bad things are.

Sure wouldn't be running it any until you find out, could throw the rod and cause a lot more damage.
