sohc d16 vtec rod knock?!

[cheapdouchebag]

hello guys. was servicing my car today, halfway there was more focused on washing and waxing my baby today.
Before and also after my servicing the car, i decided to pump some music out letting the alternator recharge the battery. But i noticed that the car was a bit more shakey than if i was driving it. god damn, and then i put my ear to the bonet and heard a little bit of rod knocking. is this common with these engines after all these years? or should i be very concerned?

checked the oil this morning, appeared fine.
my best bet is either the compressor issent working correctly or one cylinder is not moving correctly i havent changed the spark plugs.

pat88c, i agree with you but i dont have the time or even feel like opening up this engine as im gunna scrap it soon.
i just need somethin for a few eeks that at best may let me drive uphill to the snow (its summer i know i wont go up, im just using that example of what im expecting of the car's capability after a bit of a spiff up)
