Hi David.
Is the noise coming from the front of the motor? Possible timing chain / tensioner / broken rail.
Is the oil level correct? Too high will cause crank slap on steep hills.
Is the noise from the rear of the motor? Possible catalytic converter broken up/ Auto? Possibly loose converter bolt/ bolts.
A few things to try! Dav
