Default Engine knocking, need help.

Ok, last friday, my engine started knocking. I drove it home, parked it and today finally got around to taking some parts off. I took off the passenger side valve cover, because that's where the knocking seemed to be. I found a bent push rod in there, congratulated myself for finding the problem, replaced it (thanks adam!), started it up, same sound...

I would really like someone who knows something about engines to come over and take a listen to it. I can search all day to find similar problems, but when it comes down to it, I am not the best mechanically inclined person. please let me know, I have the car all together now so that the knocking can be heard.

Thanks.

Still having an issue? damn dude, I don't think the rod was bent enough to damage a lifter or anything... hmmmm SRJ might be the best.

Bump for some help! I want to try figuring this out.. I did the garden hose stethoscope (sp?) and seems like its coming from the front passenger side of the engine. don't know if that helps at all.
