What makes an engine clatter?
If it is intermittent it could be your not putting the right octane gasoline in the engine. Normally this will make it ping under load. If it has a clatter from the top of the engine all of the time you probably need to adjust your lifters. This is normally not a problem for today's lifters. Also if the noise is from the bottom of the engine you probably have worn bearings. Hope this helps.
