Well my engine has a knock to it. It only knocks whenever I turn it on and it hasn't been running for a while, and when I'm hitting around 4k RPM. It also does this a little whenever I'm in second gear(automatic tranny) around 3.5k RPM and I'm letting of the throttle. It doesn't knock during idle, or as loud. Does anybody have any ideas? The knocking is coming from where the valve cover is and I want to just take it off and see what I find but I'm a little short on money, so your help is appreciated.

bad valve tap can get pretty noisy and can be confused with knocking. i've heard some noisy valve trains and if you didnt know it was the valves you'd think they had spun a cam bearing.
