Default Name That sound

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZr6LDo4zFA



Just started today, the tapping sounds like its coming from the front passenger side. My car has been sitting for about two years. I just got it running again about three weeks ago. It has been running very badly but figured all it needed was a tune. As I was getting ready to load it up to go to Pearland for a tune it starts this knocking.

That's what I was thinking. Maybe a bent pushrod.
