when first started the engine sounds fine and the oil pressure is good. After the engine reaches operating temperature a clicking noise develops at the front of the engine towards the bottom. There is also a lose of oil pressure. The oil pressure increases with the RPM's and around 3200 RPM's the noise goes away
