The car has been running very smoothly indeed for the past few weeks. Starting problem eliminated by properly adjusting the choke, and everything was fine.

This evening on the way home from work I was idling when all of a sudden a very knocking sound began suddenly. It was so loud, it was almost a constant banging.

After calming down and looking at the engine, I decided to drive the few blocks home. On the way, the knock get a bit better, but it is still definitely there, and definitly coming from the engine.

What am I looking at? Basically, what do I now have to learn about? Will I need to take the head off to see if there is something rattling around on top of the pistons? Or something else in that area?
