Today I was taking a nice drive when at a stop sign, the engine was clacking louder than usual. By the time I got home it was very noticeable. Looking to the experts for advice. Took a video of it.

Not sure if may be something with valves or pistons/bearings. I will say I noticed a significant decrease in power.

Since I'm not in the position to do a rebuild myself, and if it may be, does anyone know of anyone trustworthy the Upstate NY - Syracuse area that could do it?

Truly discouraging after a summer of great drives and memories.

It doesn't do the noise at first, but once warmed up it is definitely more pronounced. I'll post additional videos in a bit.
