    push rod adjustment / blown roller wheel on the lifter/ junk in the oil screen for the lifters "top of oil pump"
    just to name a few , take it apart and investigate.
    Bucket list are for Sissie, men do it while they can enjoy it

    wrecker's gotcha, but when's the last time it was rode hard to get it hot and had the oil/filter changed? might want to start there. also- noise at an idle on evo's is often associated with too low an idle speed. idle s/b @800 rpm- a little faster than "potato-potato"...
